The Brexit Negotiations: An Assessment of the Legal, Political and Institutional Situation in the UK

Upon request by the AFCO Committee of the European Parliament, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned an in-depth analysis by Charles Grant on the political and institutional situation in the United Kingdom following the referendum on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

The research analyses the post-Brexit political developments in the UK, the various parameters that should be taken into account, by both the UK government and the 27, in view of the Article 50 negotiations and the possible shape of the final deal and the future economic relationship, taking into account the EU obligations and the constraints of Theresa May’s government.
