Yet it was Tdifficult to disagree with former banker and current SNP member of parliament Ian Blackford yesterday, when he said: “The only thing we’ve learned from today’s latest fudge from the 1922 Committee is that Theresa May is so incompetent that she can’t even resign properly.” In keeping with her record in Downing Street, May has continually kicked the can down the road when pressed on her future, despite being forced to admit that she must step down. Having lost the confidence of so many of her MPs and party members alike, and without a feasible way out of the Brexit stalemate, there is no reason for her to stay in the job.

Future generations will have the benefit of knowing how Brexit pans out. A Brexit Government, led by a Prime Minister who campaigned for Remain, seems intent on throwing more confusion into the political landscape. None of this chaos The Brexit Club: The Inside Story of the Leave Campaigns Shock Victory have been a surprise. The first wave of instant histories has already been published. Often, they are essentially a self-justification narrative and with this motivation, both the winners and losers have been quick to press. Owen Bennet has followed Nigel Farage over the last few years and offers what is at times, even if not intentionally, a sympathetic Farage—centric view of the Brexit campaign. In fact, they never had a cohesive plan for the pre-referendum stage. The The Brexit Club: The Inside Story of the Leave Campaigns Shock Victory list is long and seems to get out of hand quickly. No two characters really like each other. Nigel is not liked by a range of characters who would rather he stayed away from the Campaign. Not many people like them. Aaron Banks dislikes them. He does though have the necessary qualities to bankroll the GO campaign. George Galloway appears and disappears all in one day, but no one except Nigel really cares for him.

  • The Metaphysics of Brexitism Abstract in This Essay, I Consider Brexit As the Expression of a More General Ideology
    The Metaphysics of Brexitism Abstract In this essay, I consider Brexit as the expression of a more general ideology - Brexitism – which I explore through commentary upon a series of quotations drawn from speeches, newspapers, propaganda materials and social media. This method is appropriate because Brexitism is itself a kind of quotation – a repetition of half-remembered actual and fictional past political gestures – which allude to something deeper. Exploring fragments which illustrate three different elements of Brexitist ideology – Heroism, Time and Distinction – I suggest that these can be read as expressions of an underlying, dynamic and ‘productive’ conceptual field, similar to what Max Weber described as a ‘stand toward the world’. This is the ‘metaphysics of Brexit’ apart from which it cannot be fully understood. Bio: Alan Finlayson is Professor of Political and Social Theory at the University of East Anglia. He writes mostly about political ideologies, ideas and rhetoric and is currently leading a three- year project funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council exploring how digital technology and culture is affecting ideology and rhetoric, through a case-study of the so-called ‘alt-right’. Keywords: Brexit; Brexitism; political ideologies; political ideas; political rhetoric; Weber; UKIP; Farage; Conservatism; alt-right. The Metaphysics of Brexit Alan Finlayson Introduction Brexit is not a single – let alone simple – political event. It is a complex element of continuing processes of different duration, intensity and direction. These are not confined to the UK. Their effects can be seen across Europe and the United States where they manifest in the rejection of political internationalisation, economic globalisation and multiculturalism.
