Abstract:
Since the United Kingdom’s referendum on European Union (EU) membership in 20XX, a new political cleavage of Remainers and Leavers has developed (Kelley, N. [20XX]. British social attitudes survey: Britain’s shifting identities and attitudes. (36). National Centre for Research). This paper explores how five pro-Brexit newspapers discursively construct political division in Britain in relation to two key events in the final year of Britain’s EU membership: the extension of the withdrawal process past the original date of March, and the introduction of the Benn Act in September.
Keywords:
Brexit; division; Leavers; National identity; Remainers
