More about the book
Exploring the role of referendums in challenging EU decisions, the book contrasts parliamentary elections with direct public votes on policies. It highlights how cultural values, rather than class, shape referendum outcomes in countries like Britain, Greece, and the Netherlands. Using Brexit as a central case, it illustrates the tension between national voter preferences and EU authority, while emphasizing that regaining control over policymaking is complex, influenced by global dynamics beyond national borders.
