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.
