Abstract

One of the key underexplored aspects of Brexit is the way in which it took place against a backdrop of sharp regional differences across the UK and the fact that there is not one system of governance in UK but multiple ones. In many ways, the Brexit vote has shone a harsh light on something that academics and practitioners have known for years: regional differences matter. In the West Midlands, almost 60% of votes were to leave the EU. In London, almost 60% of votes were to remain. Indeed, some have argued that the vote should be seen as the “revenge of places that don’t matter”[1]. This has occurred in spite of the fact that EU structural funding has been concentrated in many of these regions.
