Vote Leave views of Europe’s future are not attractive – if you know your history

History

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

In the EU referendum, those urging Britons to vote to leave see two possible outcomes for Europe in the event of a Brexit. Either it would integrate further and become a superstate or it would fall apart, restoring a Europe of nation states. Both can’t be true. And when you take a historical perspective, neither would be in the UK’s interests.
