What has changed in our democracy since her premiership?

Join the conversation this Autumn about democracy’s past, present, and future, in our programme of events: The Long Story of Democracy.The Rt Hon the Baroness May of Maidenhead served as the United Kingdom’s second female Prime Minister from 2016 to 2019 and as the longest-serving Conservative Home Secretary for more than a century from 2010 to 2016. She was made a Life Peer in 2024 and continues to play an active role in the House of Lords.Her years in public office were marked by a period of significant political, social, and international change. As Prime Minister and Home Secretary, Baroness May confronted some of the most demanding questions facing democratic societies, including national security, international cooperation and the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. Her experience offers a distinctive perspective on the responsibilities of leadership in public life, the ethical dimensions of government, and the relationship between national interests, democratic institutions, and the common good.Now a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs, she teaches a course on the future of democracy. She also speaks regularly about climate change, the eradication of modern slavery, domestic abuse and the social injustices she has helped address throughout her political career.Westminster Abbey Institute aims to nurture and revitalise moral and spiritual values in public life and service. It seeks to replenish and sustain public servants of all faiths and none, and to celebrate and animate public service as a force for good. The Institute draws on Westminster Abbey’s resources of spirituality and theological learning, rooted in its daily worshipping life and broader Christian tradition, to convene discussion, nourish reflection and inspire regeneration.Agenda🕑: 06:10 PMDoors open🕑: 06:30 PMEvent begins🕑: 07:45 PMReception
