Debates preceding the looming referendum on whether or not Britain remains in the EU have sharpened the edges of what always was a poll on the future of multiculturalism, proving that ‘Lexit’ supporters could never have hoped to control the debate. Aaron Bastani, who previously proposed a left-wing rationale for Brexit due to ‘the disdain for democracy, the zealotry and the legacy of half a century of colonialism,’ now advocates remaining in the EU. The reason: the Brexit campaign has been fought on a ticket of ‘outright xenophobia’ with no intelligent defence of migration from the Left.
