| Summary/Abstract |
The 2017 general election was one which almost everybody lost. When she called it, Theresa May declared that the country was united, but the politicians divided. The election was intended to endorse that proposition. It did not. It showed that the country was just as divided as the House of Commons, if not more so—on generational lines (young versus old); along cultural or meritocratic lines (the exam-passing classes versus the rest), for it may be that education rather than class is now the main cleavage in British politics; and, above all, on the toxic issue of Europe. The election, far from settling the European issue, has reopened it.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many on the left hoped that the 2015 general election in Britain would prove a social democratic moment. Instead, it proved a nationalist moment, since the only parties radically to increase their vote were UKIP and the SNP. This mirrored trends on the Continent, where nationalist parties on the right and the left have been the beneficiaries of the financial collapse of 2008. These parties exploit a new social cleavage between those who benefit from globalisation and those left behind. The new parties exploit issues of identity rather than economics, and these issues—whether Britain remains in the European Union, whether mass immigration continues and whether Scotland remains in the United Kingdom—are likely to dominate the 2015 parliament.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Britain, commentators on the constitution have an easy life, since we have no constitution. That is because our only constitutional principle is—or perhaps was, until we entered the European Community in 1973—the sovereignty of Parliament. That principle of course conflicts with the principle of the supremacy of European law.
