Stretching the Constitution - The Brexit Shock in Historic Perspective

Zusatztext This book brutally dissects the democratic calamity our constitutional system brought upon itself through the European Union referendum of June 2016. But it also gives cause for optimism. By looking to the past, the author uncovers possible solutions to many of the dilemmas we face today. They range from the tension between direct and representative government to the abuse of online campaigning. All those concerned about the future of the United Kingdom constitution must read Blick’s latest work. Informationen zum Autor Andrew Blick is Lecturer in Politics and Contemporary History at King's College London.
