Since the 2016 referendum, the hotly contested issue of Brexit has raised fundamental questions about the workings of British democracy. Nowhere was this more true than regarding the role of parliament. This book addresses important questions about parliament's role in the UK constitution, and the impact on this of the Brexit process. While initially intended to re-establish parliamentary sovereignty’, Brexit wrought significant damage on the reputation of parliament and the wider culture of UK democracy. Charting the full story of the parliamentary battle over Brexit, Meg Russell and Lisa James show that it wasn’t always what it seemed. Based on careful documentary research and extensive interviews with kev protagonists, the book explores multiple nailbiting moments, procedural innovations, and political ‘what-ifs’. Drawing on insider accounts, alongside media and parliamentary debates, the book puts the events of Brexit into context and provides a clear and reliable document of record on a complex and disputed story. Ultimately, it argues that Brexit was largely a battle inside the Conservative Party, for which parliament got the blame. Insightful and comprehensive, the book is necessary reading for those with interests in British politics, the culture of UK democracy, and the challenges of populism and democratic ‘backsliding’. |
