"Why we need to overhaul the British state to make a democratic post-Brexit UK function"--

Description
Taking Control argues that neither side in the Brexit debate really understood the European Union or what was involved in reclaiming Britain's sovereignty. The EU is neither a supranational nanny state, nor an internationalist peace project. It is the means by which Europe’s elites transformed their own states in order to rule the void where representative politics used to be. Leaving the EU is a necessary but not sufficient step towards closing the chasm between rulers and ruled.
This book makes the democratic case for national sovereignty, arguing for a radical, forward-looking reconstitution of the British nation-state through strengthening representative democracy. It is essential for anyone who wonders why British politics is so dysfunctional and who wants to do better.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Esteemed scholars praise Taking Control for its profound analysis and timely insights. Richard Tuck from Harvard University calls it the most significant book on Britain’s EU membership struggles, highlighting its cutting-edge approach to political and constitutional challenges. Wolfgang Streeck, former director at the Max Planck Institute, lauds the book as a milestone for democratic theory and a vital contribution to discussions on rebuilding democratic nationhood beyond Brexit.
