Understanding British Political Dynamics and Public Opinion about Brexit

Abstract

This research paper examines the multifaceted political dynamics surrounding Brexit and its impact on public opinion in the United Kingdom. It analyzes political developments, party realignments, constitutional challenges, media framing, and public sentiment. Brexit represents not merely a policy shift but a profound reconfiguration of British politics and identity. The study integrates case studies including Boris Johnson government, Northern Ireland Protocol crisis, and the Scottish independence debate to demonstrate how political decisions interact with public perceptions. The findings reveal that Brexit is an ongoing process characterized by polarization, institutional tension, and evolving public opinion shaped by economic concerns, identity politics, and media narratives.

Keywords: Brexit, Political Dynamics, Public Opinion, Mixed-Methods, Media, Representation.
