Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

In the wake of the near-death of the United Kingdom as we know it on September 18 2014, unionists have sought to define the purpose of union, Britishness, “what unites us” and “shared values”.

This new unionism is profoundly misguided. Yet neither of our main parties seems aware of it.
