We need radical consensus to bridge the Brexit divide

This article is based on a research project going on since the 2016 EU referendum, a poll that set in motion a series of cultural and political events that has led to the premiership of Boris Johnson and Britain aligning itself to a new populist style of politics. Andrew Ryder (Corvinus University Budapest) outlines an antidote to these troubled times. His new book ‘Brexit Britain and Europe at a crossroads: The politics of anxiety and transformation’, describes the trajectory of historical, socio-economic and political events that led to Brexit but also identifies a remedy in the form of a ‘radical consensus’.
