Road to Brexit

Why call a Referendum about staying in the EU? What is the emotional story behind the headlines? Is Westminster too remote from the people making this vote essential? What is the powerful Brexit outcome all about? These are difficult questions but the answers are crucial to understanding the UK Referendum of 2016. In this simply-presented book, both the Leave and Remain sides of the argument are given including many hard-hitting quotes from the voting public. Chapters run from the Crux, Main Players, Perceived Need, Remain Case, Force of History, Leave Case, Campaign, Vote, Day After Review, Looking Ahead and finally Reflection. In an atmosphere of frightening uncertainty and of passionate claims being very debatable, there are many cases of being "economical with the truth." Stories, quotes and ironies are all explored to help see how and why the Leave Side won.
