  • Summer 2016, and the Brexit referendum result cuts Britain down the middle - stunning Westminster and the world. It is the starting point of a series that will explore the consequences and reasons behind some of the most dramatic and chaotic political events seen in a generation. It will examine how close our political system came to breaking and if it will ever be normal again.
    Spanning the premiership of three prime ministers, episode one begins with Theresa May assuming office and holding the responsibility for delivering on the referendum result. We hear from senior civil servants who have never spoken before about the absence of a plan for achieving Brexit, which kick-starts months of anguished rows within the Conservative Party over what a deal with the EU should look like.
    For seven years, Laura was the BBC’s political editor and so held a ringside seat at these events. Talking now to ministers, advisers and officials who were in the room, we hear what was driving the divisions and why this period became so toxic and disordered in public and behind the scenes, with Laura adding her own considered reflections on the period.
    Ministers from around Theresa May's cabinet table describe the lengthy debates that never reached any conclusion. Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill talk exclusively about their role as her secretive and powerful political advisors - sent to turbocharge Westminster on behalf of their political master. May's confidants were sent to conquer not cajole, but both stand accused by civil servants of 'terrorising' the system of government to get things done.
    Unable to find a way through on Brexit, Theresa May took the gamble of her life. She called an election to strengthen her position but failed and lost her majority. Parliament refused to back any plan for Brexit, and British political life descended into chaos. The strength of feeling on both sides of the divide hardened, and Westminster began to feel like a war zone.
    Theresa May was ultimately toppled, having failed to find the backing for her Brexit deal in parliament. It marks the perhaps inevitable arrival of Boris Johnson into Number 10 with his Vote Leave sidekick Dominic Cummings in tow. This chapter of politics ushers in a new, brutal approach towards conventions and rules. Parliament is brought to an early shutdown - prorogued - as senior civil servants wonder if the glue that holds our constitution together is tough enough for the plan Boris Johnson is pursuing. Even the Supreme Court’s ruling to suspend prorogation - as the prime minister’s advice to the Queen was unlawful - did not stop Johnson. We hear exclusively from the ministers, legal advisors and mandarins inside the room - looking on in astonishment.

    At the end of the day, an extremely complex issue such as Britain’s leaving the EU, should NEVER have been left up to the public to vote on. The public voted for their government to represent them and to deal with complex issues not hand it back to the public and allow misrepresentation to determine the outcome. In the age of social media where everyone can lie and manipulate, there needs to be extra consideration given to major decisions voted by the public.

    A lot of people criticizing those in power, politicians and civil servants because there wasn’t a plan. Well, what is apparent, is that the Brexiteers didn’t have a plan. All those questions in the run up to the Brexit vote like what about Northern Ireland, and who will we be trading with and what will we buy and sell, all brushed aside by the Brexiteers as stupid quibbles. But that was the very heart of the matter. They argued for Brexit without having the slightest plan about how it might be done, that was the real crime!!

    The issue of Brexit was not necessarily about the result - it was the about way the referendum was conducted. A simple binary question on should we stay or should we go was totally inappropriate for such a major issue. This was effectively a major change to the UK Constitution, even it was not acknowledged as such. If you look at nations such as the US, such a change would require agreement across multiple houses and by substantial margins in both Senate and State legislatures. No change of this magnitude should happen on such a tiny percentile as Brexit. This has not only destroyed the UK economy and prospects, it has also set the bar for future referenda - Scotland would insist, I am sure, on a simple majority for independence now given the Brexit result. So would a vote for Irish Union. No country on earth should ever go down simplistic route to massive economic, constitutional and political change.

    The principle of Brexit was on the ballot in 2016, but not the exact form it would take. Different Brexiteers disagreed on whether to stay in the Single Market or not, whether to continue freedom of movement or not. Its not surpriising that when it became time to legislate on this and negotiate a Brexit deal, that these divisions - which were not only along Leave-Remain lines but also within the Leave side, would become more important.

    I'm a Swede that have spent several of my working years in the UK. Now watching this fromthe side it feels so sad. The public was been tricked to take these important decisions strictly bases on emotions instead of basic economic facts. Then the Parliament never debates the agreement that even a school kid could see was so shallow.. Delusion on steroids disrespecting the population they represented...

      I am Irish, have Australian citizenship and l have lived in New Zealand. I love politics. I think outsiders have a valuable insight to offer. I often wish there was more input/insight into Ireland from non Irish people. I think when you are raised in the culture of a country there are often blindspots that you don't realise you have. I think if you are are confident and interested in learning, you want to hear from others.

    I’m ashamed to say I fell for the Leave nonsense and voted out. Really not sure why, I wasn’t exactly young (mid 20’s) and really ought to have known better, I think it was because I watched Farage on Question Time when I was at university and thought he was a good orator.
    I knew I and the rest of the country had made a huge howler literally the morning after when I saw the pound value plummet and Boris Johnson’s glum face on the TV.
    Safe to say I won’t be making that mistake again and I’m far more cynical now, suspect we will quietly rejoin the single market again maybe in the Parliament after next, but I don’t think we’ll ever rejoin the political institutions for decades.

      She and May were the Home Office operators who victimised Windrush immigrants and demonised and persecuted immigrants in general.
      Rudd's position as a minister eventually became untenable due to being a serial liar regarding her denial of various of her departmental decisions and misleading the House. May should always be remembered for the "Go Home Or Face Arrest," vans - which even Farage found distasteful - among her many other repugnant policies.

At the national level there are as many *posts-to-get-past* as there are parliamentary constituencies-however the individual voter usually has one-shot in years to determine the unitary outcome in a single constituency, i.e., the MP for *one-and-only-one* of a total of 650.
