As this book reveals, the historic vote for Brexit marked the culmination of trends in domestic politics and in the UK's relationship with the EU that have been building over many years. Drawing on a wealth of survey evidence collected over more than ten years, this book explains why most people decided to ignore much of the national and international community and vote for Brexit. Drawing on past research on voting in major referendums in Europe and elsewhere, a team of leading academic experts analyse changes in the UK's party system that were catalysts for the referendum vote, including the rise of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), the dynamics of public opinion during an unforgettable and divisive referendum campaign, the factors that influenced how people voted and the likely economic and political impact of this historic decision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36053777678493,"sku":"9781316605042","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/products\/9781316605042.jpg?v=1599565886"},{"product_id":"brexitland-identity-diversity-and-the-reshaping-of-british-politics","title":"Brexitland","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jellybooks.com\/cloud_reader\/excerpts\/brexitland-identity-diversity-and-the-reshaping-of-british-politics_9781108461900-ex\/QLrG3\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Brexitland sample\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/button_click-to-look-inside_480x480.png?v=1651408763\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong-term social and demographic changes - and the conflicts they create - continue to transform British politics. In this accessible and authoritative book Sobolewska and Ford show how deep the roots of this polarisation and volatility run, drawing out decades of educational expansion and rising ethnic diversity as key drivers in the emergence of new divides within the British electorate over immigration, identity and diversity. They argue that choices made by political parties from the New Labour era onwards have mobilised these divisions into politics, first through conflicts over immigration, then through conflicts over the European Union, culminating in the 2016 EU referendum. Providing a comprehensive and far-reaching view of a country in turmoil, Brexitland explains how and why this happened, for students, researchers, and anyone who wants to better understand the remarkable political times in which we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Maria Sobolewska and Robert Ford have produced the best account I have read of our cultural civil wars.

The fallout of this momentous referendum has been tumultuous and unpredictable. Now, from the authors of the highly-acclaimed Brexit: Why Britain Voted to Leave the European Union (Cambridge University Press, 2017), comes the definitive guide to the transformation of British politics in the years following the Brexit vote. By charting the impact of Brexit on three major elections - the 2017 and 2019 general elections as well as the 2019 European Parliament elections - this book reveals the deeper currents reshaping modern Britain. The authors draw upon many years of unique and unprecedented data from their own surveys, giving key insights into how and why Brexit has changed British electoral politics. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, appealing to students, scholars and anyone interested in the impact of Brexit on Britain today.","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43915491148015,"sku":"9781108733793","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781108733793i.jpg?v=1682684712"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgebookshop.co.uk\/collections\/politics-uk-politics.oembed","provider":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
