"Janice Morphet is an expert - especially on the domestic ramifications of UK membership of the EU. Experts are disparaged these days but whatever the know-nothings pretend, leaving is complicated and her specialist knowledge is desperately relevant." David Walker, contributing editor, Guardian Public "Professor Morphet is fair, balanced, lucid and rigorous and that's why Gove, Farage and the Leavers will hate this book: exiting the EU cannot but be a tremendously complex and protracted affair." Polly Toynbee, Journalist and author "Morphet offers a timely and much needed analysis of the effects, implications and challenges posed by Brexit. Critically, the book looks not just at the story emerging within the UK, but also examines the prospects for Anglo-Irish relations." Professor Claire A. Dunlop, University of Exeter "The UK government's decision to seek to leave the EU as a result of an advisory referendum is like throwing a very big rock into a very large pond. Janice Morphet provides a useful and timely guide to the resulting bigger waves and smaller ripples of 'Brexit'." Colin R. Talbot, Professor of Government, University of Manchester
