Yes, we're in a bad way. But to wallow in myths of British 'declinism' won't help us thrive | David Edgerton

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Brexit was built on multiple lies and also on a very particular understanding of the British economy.
54% : But understanding that real place, and the real nature of capitalism in the UK, and crucially in the world as a whole, is central to any possibility of transformative politics, and that requires England in particular to be modest about a nation that has much to be modest about.
50% : But this was no quirk of an aberrant prime minister; it was rather the ludicrous high point of a systematic, mendacious revivalism that was central to Brexit.
47% : That Brexit was premised on revivalism rather than weaknesses in the economy is worth pondering.
35% : Because the UK was once the global champion of free trade, it is so again.
