You\u2019re reading Global Notes<\/strong>, Ishaan Tharoor\u2019s weekly column on international politics.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in his current iteration, travels around American university campuses lecturing about the fate of \u201cthe West.\u201d Last October, at Yale, he condemned pro-Palestinian protesters and \u201cthe moaning of the liberal media,\u201d which, he claimed, was too harsh on President Donald Trump and not alert enough to the dangers of real autocrats in China and Russia. At the University of Miami, in February, he championed the West\u2019s defense of Ukraine as a \u201cfree country\u201d in the face of Russian invasion. And at Cornell, in April, he urged Western societies to look beyond their political polarization, in a talk titled \u201cThe West Is Worth Saving.\u201d \u201cWhen we stand together and when we unite, and when we correctly identify our foes and the foes of freedom,\u201d Johnson said, \u201cI promise you, there is absolutely no power on earth that can prevail against us.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a strange irony\u2014though, perhaps, little surprise\u2014that this is how the bombastic Tory politico is now spending his time. For all his calls for unity, Johnson was one of the key architects of what\u2019s arguably the biggest rupture in Western politics in a generation: Brexit\u2014Britain\u2019s decision to quit the European Union and, in doing so, to turn its back on an institution that seemed to represent the apex of post-Cold War liberalism. This week marks a decade since the shock referendum that saw a narrow majority of Britons vote in favor of leaving. Johnson, then the mayor of London, was a leading Leave campaigner, calling on his compatriots to \u201ctake back control\u201d from perfidious technocrats in Brussels and unleash new \u201cfreedom\u201d across the United Kingdom, while hawking misleading claims about Britain\u2019s sending three hundred and fifty million pounds a week to the E.U. Johnson and other Leave boosters conjured visions of a liberated \u201cglobal Britain\u201d striding confidently on the world stage, of a \u201cSingapore-upon-Thames\u201d emerging in Brexit\u2019s wake, of surging prosperity in a low-tax, deregulated Britain, where migration would be checked and business investment abundant. Ten years on, little of what Johnson and the others envisioned has come to pass. Britain has experienced major blows to investment and productivity, a historic surge in annual net migration, and\u2014shorn of the diplomatic heft of a united Europe and subject to the whims of a bullying Trump\u2014a geopolitical humbling. More than half of voters in the 2016 referendum opted to leave; a poll this month revealed that only about a third of Britons still think that it was a good idea to have quit the E.U.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Still, the move toward Brexit channelled populist passions that now shape politics on both sides of the Atlantic: a contempt for experts and mainstream institutions; a hatred of liberal cosmopolitan idealism; a shameless embrace and proliferation of misinformation by political opportunists; and agendas anchored more in antipathy for a perceived enemy than in a positive vision for everyone. Trump, early on, understood the British referendum\u2019s significance for his own journey to power: \u201cThey will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!\u201d he tweeted in August, 2016, ahead of a Presidential election that few thought he would win. Brexit confirmed the end of the \u201cend of history,\u201d the political philosopher Francis Fukuyama\u2019s oft-cited thesis that imagined Western capitalist, liberal democracy as the \u201cfinal form of human government\u201d; Brexit showed how voters in a major Western democracy could break with liberalism\u2014in Britain\u2019s case, with the values inherent in the project of European integration, and, in the case of Trump\u2019s victory, with the very principles that grounded the postwar order. You could hear an echo of Brexit when the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, went to Normandy earlier this month and deployed a curious analogy, warning of the \u201cdangerous ideologies\u201d and migrant invaders supposedly now landing on Europe\u2019s beaches, even as he stood at a monument that honored an antifascist invasion eighty-two years ago. Brexit prefigured further crises of confidence in Western democracies that have led to the steady advance of the far right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Voting for Brexit was, of course, not the same as actually achieving it. Britain was convulsed for years by the difficulty of agreeing to terms of divorce with Europe. Would it be a \u201csoft\u201d Brexit, in which Britain stayed within at least some of the E.U.\u2019s frameworks, such as the single market, or a \u201chard\u201d one, where it walked away entirely? (It ended up more hard than soft.) Technical jargon overwhelmed news cycles, exasperating the public with debates over \u201cbackstops,\u201d Australian-style or Canada-plus deals, and Northern Ireland protocols. Brexit\u2019s tortuous complexity weakened governance and led to parliamentary deadlock. Between 1976 and 2016, Britain had six Prime Ministers. It\u2019s about to have that same number in the decade since, with the all-but-certain ascension of Andy Burnham, the charismatic former mayor of Manchester, newly elected member of Parliament, and Labour-leader-in-waiting, following the resignation this week of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Johnson\u2019s own tenure, from 2019 to 2022, was relatively long compared with those of his successors, but it was cut short by scandals linked to his behavior during the coronavirus pandemic\u2014not by Brexit, which finally happened under his watch.<\/p>\n

Even after finalizing the divorce, Johnson and other Leavers have little to celebrate: a recent academic analysis of Bank of England data estimated that the British economy has taken a six-to-eight-per-cent hit in lost growth owing to the effects of Brexit. \u201cIf you reduce the size of the markets that we trade with, so we reduce our export markets, then that does tend to have a negative impact on growth,\u201d the bank\u2019s governor, Andrew Bailey, told reporters. Britain\u2019s G.D.P. per capita languishes behind those of most of its northern European peers, while new trade deals that Britain has negotiated have failed to offset the losses incurred by leaving the bloc. Taxation levels are approaching those seen during the Second World War, while beloved and vital state institutions such as the National Health Service are struggling after years of austerity cuts and budget squeezes. Michael Gove, a journalist, former Conservative Cabinet minister, and vocal Brexit proponent, is optimistic about the continued success of London as a center of international finance\u2014\u201chowever many masters there are in the universe, they still seem to be flocking to London,\u201d he wrote this month in the conservative Spectactor<\/em>. Gove also pinned the blame for Britain\u2019s stagnation on \u201ca long regulatory tail of EU legislation holding us back,\u201d gesturing to the body of European laws that British companies still have to navigate.<\/p>\n

A decade after the referendum, though, Brexit is the status quo, and many in Britain have stopped blaming their problems on the E.U. A survey of British voters conducted on behalf of the European Council on Foreign Relations found that a majority believed that leaving the E.U. had negative impacts on the British economy, on people\u2019s everyday pocketbook concerns, on opportunities for young people, and on Britain\u2019s global reputation. It may also be, as one British pollster observed, that the 2016 majority for Brexit \u201chas literally died out,\u201d since the Leave camp at the time included a disproportionate number of elderly voters. And so the conversation in Britain is shifting to what can be done to reverse the damage caused by Brexit. Starmer\u2019s resignation led to the postponement of a summit between Britain and the E.U. to consider measures to bring the former member closer to the bloc\u2019s economy, with new agreements on agrobusiness, emissions trading, and work visas for young people. Burnham\u2014whose party\u2019s immediate future, along with his own, depends on how he addresses Britain\u2019s sluggish growth, and settles a toxic debate over immigration that has fuelled the rise of new far-right parties in the country\u2014will inevitably need to turn to Brussels. \u201cIt would not be fair to say that the problems of the UK today are due to Brexit but what I am sure of is that all these problems are more difficult because of Brexit,\u201d Michel Barnier, a former French minister and E.U. official who led the bloc\u2019s Brexit negotiations for four years, told the Guardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the time of the referendum, there were fears that Britain was just the first domino in a series of European \u201cexits.\u201d But the mess that followed the vote offered a caution: there\u2019s far less talk among the Dutch now of a \u201cNexit,\u201d or of a \u201cFrexit\u201d in France, while the clamor for accession into the European Union has grown louder; a crowded queue, including Montenegro, Moldova, and countries in the western Balkans, hopes to enter the bloc. After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Johnson came out as one of the most vocal defenders of Ukrainian freedom, making trips to Kyiv even after he left office, later that year, while advocating robust military support. Despite leading his country out of the E.U., he has been supportive of Ukraine going in, recognizing the role that membership would have in guaranteeing its postwar future. Between joining the E.U. and joining NATO<\/em>, the former is more likely for Ukraine, not least because there\u2019s no American veto to stop it. \u201cThe Russian war in Ukraine made Europe understand a very important thing\u2014that the enlargement of the E.U. is also about the security of the European continent,\u201d the Montenegrin President, Jakov Milatovi\u0107, told me in an interview last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The E.U.\u2019s allure has not diminished in the aftermath of Brexit, but its politics have changed. Ultranationalist factions, once allied with Britain\u2019s Euroskeptics, have come to the fore across the Continent. In 2027, elections in France could result in a far-right candidate finally winning a Presidential runoff after some two decades of defeat. Both Germany and the U.K. must hold elections before the end of 2029. In the former, the far-right Alternative for Germany, which is already the largest opposition party in the Bundestag, could conceivably shoulder its way into a ruling coalition. Britain, meanwhile, could see its own far-right takeover in the form of the Reform Party of Nigel Farage, an inveterate Brexiteer and close Trump ally, who, instead of campaigning on Brexit, is, like Trump, vowing more deregulation, more deportations, and more anti-establishment theatrics, including DOGE<\/em>-style purges of the British bureaucracy. Johnson, for his part, continues to shill for the slumping Tories, while trying to salvage Brexit\u2019s legacy. He posted a video on social media ahead of the tenth anniversary, where he told his compatriots to \u201cstop fearing that freedom and make use of it,\u201d rather than trying to undo Brexit. \u201cAbove all,\u201d he asked, \u201cdo you want to spend ten more miserable years arguing about it?\u201d\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n
