The Richard Dimbleby Lecture - Season 1 Episode 8 Roy Jenkins - Home Thoughts from Abroad

Trailer
The Rt Hon Roy Jenkins, President of the European Commission and formerly Home Secretary, and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, gives the eighth in this annual series of lectures. 'As a forum of national debate, the House of Commons has declined. The great clashes of party principle and the conflicting convictions of major personalities have mostly given way to a sterile exchange of unconvincing slogans and mutual recrimination, to a background of unedifying noise. Roy Jenkins examines the present state of the British political system. He questions whether our traditional stability has now turned into rigidity, and asks how we could improve the form and content of our politics.
