Professors Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon conduct a brief yet thorough exploration of the societal factors that led the British public to vote to leave the European Union.

On June 24th, 2016, the British public surprised themselves, the experts, and the rest of the world by voting to leave the European Union.

The Brexit referendum was a defining moment in modern British history, and the results have cast a long shadow over the years that followed.

The reasons behind the result were complex, but Geoffrey Evans, professor of Sociology of Politics at University of Oxford's Nuffield College, and Anand Menon, professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London, attempt to explain them.

Brexit and British Politics focuses on the history of the EU and the causes of disillusionment among British voters, in a fascinating introduction to understanding Brexit.
