In this book, former Europe Minister Denis MacShane looks at the history of Britain s fraught relationship with Europe and shows how the possibility of Brexit has become increasingly more likely.

He looks at the key personalities who shaped Britain s European policy from Churchill to Heath and Wilson to Thatcher, Blair and Cameron and the key issues of immigration and the economy which have heightened Eurosceptic feeling in the UK.

The Trouble with Europe: Why the EU isn’t Working, How it Can be Reformed, What Could Take its Place

The EU needs fundamental reform: it has not delivered the prosperity and growth it promised; the euro has turned out to be part of the problem rather than the solution; the EUs share of world GDP is set to fall sharply.
Moreover, no one is clear what the EU is for, or how ever closer union can be matched with expanding borders and huge disparities of income and culture.

The EU is the most important thing that stands between Europe and success. Cut down to size, renationalised, and democratically controlled, the EU could prosper. But there are serious political barriers to this and also real alternatives. Leaving the EU would not be risk-free, but BREXIT is a viable option for the UK.

This updated and expanded edition of Roger Bootle s critically acclaimed book includes new material on federal union, policies to avert catastrophe in the Eurozone (including the Greek situation) and mass migration. It s time to raise the level of debate, examine the options, and tackle the trouble with Europe.
