'Britishness' and citizenship

The idea of ‘Britishness’ has grown on the political agenda as part of a range of policies on multiculturalism and social cohesion, driven by politicians such as Blunkett and Brown.  It has emerged, partly due to increasing negative public opinion towards recent increased immigration, partly to move away from identity politics and partly as a way of reclaiming ‘Britishness’ from far right parties.  Britishness has been played out in policies, for instance, with the introduction of citizenship ceremonies and citizenship tests for new and potential citizens.
