Brendan Donnelly argues in this new Federal Trust video that the economic and political problems generated by Brexit are of little concern to its leading sponsors. Their primary interest lies in rupturing the British connection to the European mainland as quickly and thoroughly as possible. The result is a debasement of British political life, in which sleaze and cronyism have become all too frequent.
SPEAKER: Brendan Donnelly is the director of the Federal Trust and former Conservative MEP.
ABOUT THE FEDERAL TRUST The Federal Trust is a research institute studying the interactions between regional, national, European and global levels of government. Founded in 1945 on the initiative of Sir William Beveridge, it has long made a powerful contribution to the study of federalism and federal systems. It has always had a particular interest in the European Union and Britain’s place in it.
The Federal Trust has no allegiance to any political party. It is registered as a charity for the purposes of education and research. Website: https://fedtrust.co.uk/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/fedtrust Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?b
