Bloomsbury presents Why Vote Leave written and read by Daniel Hannan.

POST-REFERENDUM EDITION OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, WITH A NEW PREFACE.

MEP and award-winning political writer Daniel Hannan’s argument for a British exit during the lead up to the Brexit referendum in 2016.

Hannan demonstrates that the EU, past its sell-by date, was rendered obsolete by technological advances, shrank economically and became less relevant to British economic needs. Worse than that, he shows that the EU could not reform, could not be democratic or be divorced from its goal of political union. To stay would not mean staying the same and voting to leave – far from being the risky choice – was actually the safe one.

Finally, Hannan argues that Britain would not have to stay in the EU to remain at the heart of Europe and considers the global role a confident nation freed from EU strictures could play.

'The case against the EU should be made in positive, optimistic and internationalist terms. Daniel Hannan has done us a favour by making the democratic and economic case for independence. If you're undecided, this book might surprise you' Helena Morrissey. C 2016 Head of Zeus|P 2016 Head of Zeus
