Background

The author makes the case that Brexit is not inevitable, despite the result of the EU referendum in 2016. He argues that the referendum was fought on the basis of misleading information and so it would not be undemocratic for the UK to change its mind about the result. The book addresses the issue of how to prevent Brexit through tactical voting and also suggests ways in which the referendum result could ultimately lead to a beneficial reform of the EU.

Reception

Writing for The Independent, Andrew Grice recommended the book to any remain voters "feeling as gloomy as Philip Hammond looks".[1] In The Times, Daniel Johnson stated that Clegg is out to "name and shame the guilty men whom he holds responsible for Brexit", but pointed out that he "loses credibility by indicting only Brexiteers".[2]
