The End of the UK?

David talks to political scientist Mike Kenny about the unusual political arrangement of the UK. They discuss how it has held together through war, economic decline, Brexit, and Covid. They explore the motivations behind the Anglo-Scottish Union, the impact of referendums on UK unity, the role of COVID-19, the scenarios of the UK general election, the future of the UK compared to the US, and the likelihood of a constitutional crisis in Northern Ireland.
