Reconvening With A Hybrid Parliament

As public pressure continues to build for Parliament to recovene, the government has finally agreed in principle to hold "hybrid sessions", where MPs may partake in debates physically or virtually. We discuss how this arrangement might look like, then look at the UK Parliament's implementation of a hybrid approach. Finally, we speak about the wider impact of this on political stability.
