The Parliamentary Battle Over Brexit provides answers to those who
want to understand the bitter arguments that occurred over Brexit,
what might have been handled better, and the role that parliament
played. Since the 2016 referendum, the hotly contested issue of
Brexit has raised fundamental questions about the workings of
British democracy. Nowhere was this more true than regarding the
role of parliament. This book addresses important questions about
parliament's role in the UK constitution, and the impact on this of
the Brexit process. While initially intended to re-establish
'parliamentary sovereignty', Brexit wrought significant damage on
the reputation of parliament, and the wider culture of UK
democracy. Charting the full story of the parliamentary battle over
Brexit, Meg Russell and Lisa James show that it wasn't always what
it seemed. Based on careful documentary research and extensive
interviews with key protagonists, the book explores multiple
nail-biting moments, procedural innovations, and political 'what
if's'. Drawing on insider accounts, alongside media and
parliamentary debates, the book puts the events of Brexit into
context and provides a clear and reliable document of record on a
complex and disputed story. Ultimately, it argues that Brexit was
largely a battle inside the Conservative Party, for which
parliament got the blame. Insightful and comprehensive, the book is
necessary reading to those with broader interests in British
Politics, the culture of UK democracy, and the challenges of
populism and democratic 'backsliding'.
