Breaking of the Union
Too many feel the Conservative government is failing the Union. They now look to the alternative option: going it alone.
Populism loses its popularity
Whilst 2020 has borne witness to many tragic events, the decline of populism is perhaps a small, but very significant beacon of hope.
Europe and Islam
Unless Europe isolates heartless extremism from the harmless faith of Islam, it cannot claim to be tolerant and secular.
Message from the editors
It is the final month of the year, at last. In January, Boris Johnson promised a “fantastic year” for Britain. On the other side of a public health crisis and economic recession, he faces the prospect of a broken Britain, with calls for independence becoming louder from every corner of the isles. Maggie Gannon, Sam Feierabend and Derry Salter assess the support for independence in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, answering the question of whether the Kingdom has really lost its union.
Looking at the apparent decline in support for Boris Johnson, Will Jones ponders whether populism has lost its popular touch, also taking into account Trump’s election loss across the pond. For an in-depth review of the U.S. presidential election, see Sam Feierabend’s article in The Americas section of this issue.
