In a divided Britain, the pro-EU movement will have to be clear about what it wants
Temple, L.
(2016).
In a divided Britain, the pro-EU movement will have to be clear about what it wants.
The Brexit vote has thrown different conceptions of democracy into sharp relief. Some are horrified at the conduct of the referendum campaign; others see the result as the revealed will of the people. Luke Temple uses tweets from the March for Europe event on the 3rd September to show how these views clash. He concludes that the pro-EU movement needs a clear aim if it’s to make any headway. Without defining their political activism, they risk deepening divisions in the UK.
