Abstract

In Slipping Loose: The UK’s Long Drift Away from the European Union, Martin Westlake takes a long-term view of the result of the 2016 UK referendum on EU membership, showing it to be less a shock decision than the consequence of historical choices that led to the gradual slipping of ties between the UK and the EU. All future work on the 2016 referendum should reference this book, writes Jake Scott.
