Description du produit
Revue de presse
'Do not read Brexit - unless you want truth rather than propaganda, objectivity rather than bias and evidence rather than prejudice. Harold D. Clarke, Matthew Goodwin and Paul F. Whiteley have written a book that will still be standing when the post-truth claims of those on both sides of the referendum have rightly crumbled to dust.' Peter Kellner, former President of YouGov
'Clarke, Goodwin and Whiteley have written what is sure to be a standard reference on Brexit. A wonderfully written history of the rise of the UKIP and the Brexit referendum lead to a diverse array of empirical analyses: a survey of UKIP members, longitudinal national surveys and pre-post referendum surveys. Instead of simple explanations, they show the variety of diverse factors that produced the final referendum outcome and discuss the implications for British politics going forward.' Russell J. Dalton, University of California, Irvine
'An empirically rich and insightful analysis of the dynamics of the Brexit vote. Essential reading for understanding the social and political forces underlying one of the most important and consequential electoral decisions of our times.' Lawrence LeDuc, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto
'Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union isn't a book of opinions about why the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union but a close look at what the statistics tell us. It's an … informative read.' Sue Magee, The Bookbag (www.thebookbag.co.uk)
'The British public does not have a settled view on Europe. … The authors conclude that the British are not unusually racist among Europeans … The British appear easily swayed.' Danny Dorling, The Times Higher Education

When British PM David Cameron called for a referendum in 2016 to decide the above question, it was difficult to imagine that the citizens would vote for “Leave”. But that is what happened, although by a slim margin – 51.9% to the 48.1% “Remain” votes. Complete chaos seems to have prevailed thereafter, with the rest of the world being subjected to images of a beleaguered Teresa May scurrying around to get a “deal” in place, the ministers in the House of Commons heckling and jeering and behaving in a completely undignified manner, with Brits either howling for Brexit with no-deal, or demanding a Brexit with a deal. Then there is the question of the border between Northern Ireland (which will exit the EU) and the Republic of Ireland (which will continue to be part of the EU) and the backstop arrangement, the question of extending the date beyond March 29thto exit, and of course a SECOND referendum, in case they got it all wrong the first time. As I write this review, and watch CNN simultaneously, it appears that the UK may request for an extension beyond March 29th. Eyeroll.
Why did the citizens vote to leave the EU? What will happen once the UK leaves the EU? Will the economy collapse? Would large corporations pull out of the country and relocate elsewhere? Would it affect their currency, employment, wages? What about the immigrants from other EU countries who have already settled down in the UK?
It’s enough to make your head reel. As March 29th is just a few days away, and since many matters related to the Brexit seems so fuzzy and confusing, I picked up this book to understand why it happened, and what the consequences are likely to be.
Unfortunately (for me), the book was a rather erudite one, full of charts, graphs and tables. And, while the authors have obviously done a very thorough research on the matter, it didn’t make for very easy reading. In fact, some of the analysis of the charts, graphs etc. are mind-numbingly boring. I learnt much more about Brexit from YouTube videos than I did from this book ! Anyway, to summarize the crux of the book –
There were many drivers behind the Brexit vote. At the heart of the Brexit vote in the UK was the public anxiety and resentment over the rise in immigration. Voters wanted the levels of immigration from other EU countries reduced, and a reduction in welfare benefits and public services available to such immigrants. People especially in low-paid jobs found themselves competing with similarly low-skilled workers from EU countries, driving down their wages
"Take back control of our borders" was a rallying cry of the 2016 referendum. The citizens wanted their sovereignty back, anf they wanted to break free of the EU.
"Project Fear" tried their best to dissuade the Leavers– “no economic threat was left unarticulated”. A “Davos A-list”of world leaders tried to convince the voters, but of course they failed. As an analyst very wisely pointed out, maybe such a complex and critical question should NOT have been settled by (mostly) laymen voters by means of a referendum.
EU may make the exit a hard one, as a lesson to other EU countries. However, as the book notes - it seems “the roots of Brexit are clearly visible elsewhere" (in Europe). Particularly troubling is the growing support of right-wing populist parties across Europe (and in other parts of the world).
Ït will be years before we know the final outcome, but as the Brexit confusion continues, the rest of the world can only watch, befuddled, and perhaps a little amused.

However, in pointing out Remain's biggest arguments and campaign decisions (such as the warnings from the elite and the rolling out of politicians, celebrities, scholars [especially economists]) to warn the public of leaving, it seems to suggest that the warnings were overstated as part of 'project Fear', only to later admit in the final chapter that the full impact of Brexit will not be known for several years, presenting a clear contradiction in the thesis. It seems also to spend little time breaking-down the false claims made by both Leave campaigns (£350 a week to the EU comes to mind), of which many have now been debunked, even by Leave-leaders themselves.
In its presentation of emigration and immigration to the UK, it does not seem to make clear if that data contains International Students on 'limited leave to remain' in the UK for study purposes (as Theresa May has done by including Int. Students in the Net immigration figures for the UK). This is false is since international students are obligated to leave the UK after their studies.
WARNING: This book contains a large number mathematical data sets and is therefore not a narrative of Brexit;
