It has never been so clear that Britain’s political institutions are broken. Huge numbers voted Leave because they could smell the system’s rot, and chose the one change they were offered. For those of us who wanted to Remain in the EU, the fact of leaving is surely evidence enough that something isn’t working.

Some see the crisis as new in form; the rise of an internet driven post-truth politics or the inevitable consequence of an increasing sense of anger at a faltering economy. Some see it as a symptom of widening inequality. Some say it’s the result of rapid globalisation.
