| Summary |
The idea that Brexit will be resolved in terms of a deal but uncertain and central to conversation for eternity because of the divisions in everyday life it has cast light on is proposed in this third book in Denis MacShane's Brexit trilogy. Never in the lifetime of most British adults has there been such uncertainty about the future of the political and governing institutions of the state. Brexit has the potential to change everything - from the shape of government institutions, to the main political parties, from Britain's relationship with its near neighbour Ireland to its international trading. The idealists of the Leave campaign won their vote in 2016. But now the realists are gently taking over. Here, Denis MacShane explains how the Brexit process will be long and full of difficulties - arguing that a `Brexiternity' of negotiations and internal political wrangling in Britain lies ahead. |
