How other countries could leave the EU | Research for the Real World

10 years after the Brexit referendum, was Britain’s departure from the European Union inevitable or did it depend on a series of political choices?

Mark Quinn speaks with Dr Roch Dunin-Wąsowicz and Max Josef Migden about their research comparing Britain’s experience with the prospect of Poland leaving the EU. They introduce a framework exploring how national structures, political narratives and the actions of influential politicians can combine to make "Polexit" possible.

Why would a largely pro-European population continue to elect Eurosceptic leaders? Could Poland leave without holding a referendum?

We also hear how the EU has changed since Brexit and why populist politicians may now be more interested in reshaping it than leaving it.
