On Monday we reviewed the historical development of the UK and took notes on the political institutions. We also watched the 2015 Queen's Speech. If you were absent, it is highly recommended that you watch the video and take notes (make a list of the issues on the policy agenda). In addition to the Queen's speech, we watched other online clips, which are listed below. Finally, there are two articles in the Monday folder. Please read both.
