Britain back on the world stage.

A REACTIONARY BRITAIN

Since the 2016 Brexit Referendum, UK

politics has entered into a period of

chaos and uncertainty. From May to

Johnson, different views over Brexit

have amplified divisions, not only in the

Tory Party, but also in the greater British

polity. The revolving door of British PMs

is merely a symptom of the nation’s

confusion as it struggles to follow a

straight path forward in a post-Brexit

world.

Exiting the European Union, Johnson’s

newly liberated Britain was “unshackled

from the corpse that is the EU,” as one

pro-Brexiteer put it. The UK was free to

seek out alliances, manage individual EU

relations, and strike new and beneficial

trade deals across the world; but this

did not pan out as envisioned.

The UK has been gravely impacted by

the pandemic, facing both economic

and social challenges. Failures in Iraq

and Afghanistan have neutered any

remaining interventionism lingering

from the Tony Blair years.
