I have a question for you all. You see, we’re launching a new series here on openDemocracyUK, and I’m pretty excited about it. We’ve just recruited two excellent columnists to help drive it – who I’ll introduce in a sec – and we’re going to be exploring over the next two years one of the most important questions I can think of for people in the UK.
Basically, it’s: why is Britain so crap at environmental justice? What’s the relationship between the environment, corporate power, democracy, and the British state after Brexit? Why is it, for example, that many environmental activists would expect to have more luck taking their case to Brussels than Westminster? And how will that change with Brexit?
