DESCRIPTION:The paper examines some controversial questions about the on-g
 oing Brexit debate in the UK.  Was Brexit the outcome of a ‘populist’ 
 backlash? Was there a democratic majority for a ‘hard’ Brexit in the 2
 016 referendum and is there a case for a second referendum? The paper reje
 cts the proposal for a second referendum and argues for an alternative str
 ategy of a ‘gradual’ Brexit whereby the decision about exiting the EU 
 is taken in stages by Parliament.\n\nDr Yiannis Kitromilides is an Associa
 te Member of the Cambridge Centre for Economic and Public Policy\, Departm
 ent of Land Economy\, University of Cambridge. He had previously taught at
  the University of Greenwich\, University of Westminster\, University of M
 iddlesex\, and at the School of Oriental and African Studies\, University 
 of London. His main research interests include the eurozone crisis\, ‘Br
 exit’ and the political economy of populism\, technocracy and economic p
 olicymaking\, nationalisation of banking and the shortcomings and limitati
 ons of deficit reduction policies. He has published in these areas in acad
 emic journals and contributed to edited books.
