ON THIS MONTH: TALK Why Brexit happened OpenDemocracy founder Anthony Barnett Was the Brexit referendum result the consequence of a protest vote? Brexit must be understood as the consequence of what I call ‘combined determination’. It didn’t have just a single cause. The failure of the economy since the financial crash, with lower real incomes and mounting insecurity, was one. The failings of the EU another. A third was the general collapse of trust in the British state and its main political parties. This dates back to the Iraq War when a double-blow took place: the deception of a Prime Minister lying to the country and the way we lost. You also suggest in your latest book ‘The Lure of Greatness’ that ‘it was England’s Brexit’. This is a further very important cause of Brexit. England without London voted by a massive 11% majority for Leave. As the largest entity, it carried the day as it overwhelmed majorities for Remain in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which were proportionally even higher. Brexit was an expression of Englishness. It’s peculiar because England has no institutions that represent it, unlike Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales or London. It is trapped in the Anglo-British institutions of Westminster. The English have an added level of discontent, therefore, namely their lack of representation. This is displaced onto the European Union as the cause of their loss, whereas its origin lies here at home in the Empire State of Britain. Has Brexit made the disintegration of the UK inevitable? The breakup of the UK is not inevitable, but it would be beneficial compared to what is going on now. The nations would be normalised and become part of the European family arguing for its democratisation. The forces pushing towards either a constitutional federal outcome or separation of the UK will continue decade after decade. Has the result of June’s election – called since your latest book was written – significantly changed the nature of the post–Brexit-referendum crisis, and if so how? It has accelerated it. For example, [in The Lure of Greatness] I set out at some length why Theresa May was not qualified to be Prime Minister, and would be unsuccessful, when she had a 20% lead in the polls and looked unassailable. What I thought would take five years took five weeks! The most interesting change is with the Labour Party. I was right to see that Momentum, and its Bernie Sanders-style politics, was the important new force. I didn’t expect the Labour Party itself to revive in the way that it has. On the contrary. One of the reasons for Brexit, however, was that no positive case for being in Europe was made by the Remain campaign. I argue this should have been articulated by the Labour Party and the Left and isn’t being done, except by the Greens, and this remains the case today. Interview by Alex Leith Anthony, author of ‘The Lure of Greatness’, will talk at the <strong>Lewes</strong> Labour Party Open Meeting, <strong>November</strong> 6th, 7.30pm, Phoenix Centre.
