The Record Review

Mid-term might insinuate a potential for malaise, but for the Institute for Government this is a real threat currently facing Westminster's coalition.

In the think tank's report entitled "A Game of Two Galves - How coalition governments renew in mid-term and last the full term" it warns the government it must commit to a renewal plan now - or risk governing ineffectively.

Joining Alicia McCarthy is the co-author of the report Akash Paun, senior researcher and coalition expert at the Institute for Government and the coalition veteran Lord McConnell, who lead a coalition government in the Scottish Parliament for six years.


Watch The Record Review on BBC Parliament at 11pm on Friday 15 June, 11am on Sunday 17 June and 9am on Monday 18 June.
