Description
The UK's Brexit vote in 2016 and the inconclusive general election just 12
months later have unleashed a wave of chaos and uncertainty - on the eve
of formal negotiations with the EU.
Denis MacShane - former MP and Europe minister under Tony Blair - has
a unique insider perspective on the events that led to the Brexit vote and
ultimately to Theresa May's ill-fated election gamble of June 2017.
He argues that Brexit will not mean full rupture with Europe and that
British business will overcome the rightwing forces of the Conservative
back-benches and UKIP, which have already been weakened by the latest
election. Although negotiations with the EU may prove excruciating,
Britain cannot and will not divorce itself from the continent of Europe.
Indeed, the European question will remain the defining political issue of
our time.
