Brexit has shattered the contemporary equilibrium of British politics - from the government, economy and principal trading relationship, to the organisation of the state. In his recent book Brexit and British Politics, Anand Menon (with co-author Geoffrey Evans) steps back from the immediacy and hyperbole of the referendum to explain what happened on 23 June 2016, and why. Join us for an exclusive book presentation with Anand Menon as he reveals how the impact of Brexit will be felt for a very long time and how it poses a real danger to the health of British democracy if the government fails to deliver on its promises.
