How far did the European Union (EU) referendum result of 23 June
2016 really justify and necessitate the policies executed in
response to it? What are the implications of that vote and its
prolonged aftermath for the United Kingdom (UK) constitution? What
other challenges does our political system face? This book seeks to
answer these questions. It considers from a constitutional
perspective the way in which the decision to leave the EU was taken
and then implemented, discussing in particular the role of
Parliament. It includes a close analysis of the referendum
legislation, and relevant Commons debates. Adapting methods from
applied history, the author considers the wider implications of
Brexit by assessing a series of proposals for constitutional reform
produced in the UK since 1900. He addresses features of the UK
system including referendums, representative democracy, Parliament,
devolution, and the executive, from both an historic and
contemporary point of view. The book assesses other issues that do
not arise directly from Brexit but that have constitutional
implications and a global aspect to them. They include political
applications of the Internet and climate change. Finally, the
author makes a series of proposals for reforms that will help the
democratic system of the UK to adapt to its changing environment.
