Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times. -

Constitution Unit Monitor 68 / March 2018
1 Constitution Unit Monitor 68 / March 2018 Theresa May with EU Council President Donald Tusk at a meeting to discuss A constitution in flux progress of the Brexit negotiations, 8 December 2017 The UK is experiencing a period of deep constitutional The government’s preferred path will face stiff uncertainty. In at least four key areas, structures of resistance in parliament too. In late February Jeremy power and governance are in flux. Corbyn signalled that Labour wants a UK–EU customs union (an issue also central to the conclusions reached The first of these, of course, is the nature of the UK’s by the Citizens’ Assembly on Brexit). Consequently future relationship with the European Union, to which the government now risks defeat on an amendment to the Brexit negotiations will shortly turn. The degree to the Trade Bill pursuing the same objective, tabled by which the UK continues to pool its sovereignty with Conservative backbencher Anna Soubry. Beyond that, other European countries depends on the form of an amendment to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill passed in the that relationship: how far, and on what issues, the UK House of Commons in December (see p.3) guarantees continues to adhere to EU rules, align closely with them, that the deal between the UK and the EU agreed through or follow its own separate path. Theresa May set out the Brexit negotiations will need to be endorsed by an her most detailed proposals yet in a speech at Mansion Act of Parliament in the UK. Brexit’s opponents are House on 2 March, advocating close alignment outside increasingly vocal and organised, and occupy a strong the structures of the EU Single Market and Customs position in Westminster.
