This book expands on and complements the burgeoning Brexit
literature by placing the UK's vote to leave the EU in its longer
historical and discursive contexts. It examines the embedded
Euroscepticism, which has dominated British political discourse on
the European project and the role of the UK within it for at least
the last three decades. Brexit was the consequence of a consistent
denigration of the European integration project in the public
sphere in which the terrain, and the conceptual vocabulary, of
debate were set by a dominant, right-wing Eurosceptic discourse.
This framed the EU as inherently heterogeneous and antagonistic to
the UK. The book examines how ideas of British exceptionalism,
which underpin Eurosceptic discourses, are sustained and reproduced
and offers an account of their enduring, affective power amongst
the British population. It is in this context that it was possible
for pro-Brexit campaigners to assemble and enthuse a new coalition
of voters sufficient to deliver a 'leave' majority on 23 June 2016.
This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of
British, EU and European politics, the media and press, public
opinion, political behaviour and nationalism studies.
