The paper examines some controversial questions about the on-going Brexit debate in the UK. Was Brexit the outcome of a ‘populist’ backlash? Was there a democratic majority for a ‘hard’ Brexit in the 2016 referendum and is there a case for a second referendum? The paper rejects the proposal for a second referendum and argues for an alternative strategy of a ‘gradual’ Brexit whereby the decision about exiting the EU is taken in stages by Parliament.
