The European Commission will play a leading role in negotiating the future trade relationship between Britain and the EU, alongside France and Germany.

Overall, Brexit will, I believe, be bad for England, Britain and Europe. Brussels should and could use Brexit Britain - or even an ex-Britain England - as the template for a new outer layer of countries not willing or suitable to join, such as Ukraine and Turkey. Emmanuel Macron, who understands the English temperament better than most, is leading the way on this: he is the EU's firmest advocate of Britain getting on with Brexit, but the keenest on new links with an ex-EU Britain, hoping to put the country at the heart of new European defence order.

Salazar skilfully kept Portugal neutral in the Second World War, tacking towards the winners, which was probably more useful to Britain than any other option. From almost total isolation - with an even worse dictatorship as its only neighbour - Portugal emerged with remarkably few false moves into the modern world; 25 April, the Dia da Liberdade, says Miguel Vale de Almeida, now hardly has any political connotations. Though Portugal looks outward, the world has not looked much to Portugal. In a funny way, Rob Symington is the epitome of both: at home in both Portugal and Britain, yet steeped in a family tradition as deeply as any peasant. [Extracted from the article]

They were the "New Democrats" and they called themselves progressive liberals or "neo-liberals". Under conditions of radical economic change it was overtaken and outnumbered by a new liberal middle class fraction whose progressive politics and ideal of diversity cast these boundaries aside and revolted against the constraints of nation and place. According to the French thinker Pierre Manent, the answer liberalism provides is the inevitable progress towards a state of individual human completeness. But it should not come as a surprise that the first significant political challenge to the progressive politics of liberal economics, transnationalism and unrestrained individualism was from the working class it had politically dispossessed.

Welsh politics would very likely develop a stronger pro-independence orientation, a trend that is already discernible as Plaid Cymru's leadership talks more boldly about secession, and several senior Labour figures have declared themselves to be "indy-curious".
