Description
Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union In June 2016, the UK's decision to leave the European Union sent shockwaves around the world. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the factors that led to this historic vote, drawing on a wealth of survey evidence collected over ten years. The authors examine the role of domestic politics and the UK's relationship with the EU in shaping public opinion during the referendum campaign. They also explore how changes in the party system, including the rise of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), influenced the outcome of the vote. By analysing these factors, the book sheds light on why most people decided to support Brexit, despite being part of a global community that had long valued cooperation and integration with Europe.
