Description
Sky News senior political correspondent Jason Farrell and political blogger Paul Goldsmith team up to provide an in-depth analysis of one of Britain's biggest shocks in recent history. Their book, How to Lose a Referendum, explores the key factors that led to the UK's decision to leave the EU. The authors examine eighteen crucial reasons behind the vote, from Britain's absence at the birth of the European project to the impact of inflammatory rhetoric from figures like Nigel Farage. Through extensive interviews with key players from both campaigns and a wide-ranging exploration of historical context, Farrell and Goldsmith shed light on why a project designed for common peace and prosperity ultimately proved so hard to defend. This nuanced analysis will provide a fresh perspective on Britain's vote for Brexit, making it an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complexities behind this pivotal moment in British history.
