Margaret Thatcher’s premiership then set the stage for an antagonistic relationship that culminated in the 2016 referendum. A soft Brexit that would have kept Britain close to the single market would have meant following most eu rules with no say in making them. Addressing British-European entanglements and the impact of British Euroscepticism, the book argues that Britain is in denial about the strength of its ties to Europe.What Brexit means is a far bigger question, in terms of its longer-term implications for the EU, for our relationship with the EU, and for the future of this country.
