| Publisher Description: You're the British Prime Minister and Brexit is under way. You have just two years to negotiate the unpicking of an alliance that's been built up over four decades. And that's not the only minefield you're going to have to cross. Your cabinet is unruly, your party is splitting itself apart, and the country remains bitterly divided over the whole issue. Can you hang on and bring Britain safely into a post-Brexit harbour? Forge new trade deals around the globe? Juggle popular support at home with the goodwill of your former EU allies? Stop the economy from spiralling down the plughole? And all the while keeping an eye on those Parliamentary colleagues whose knives are ever-ready to plunge into your back? This is an interactive gamebook in which you call all the shots. What could possibly go wrong? * * * "A wholly original approach to the big question of our times, this book educates, entertains, and also achieves the seemingly impossible feat of making you empathise with Theresa May. It reminded me of Yes Minister it made me laugh, but then it made me think." - Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist and presenter of BBC Radio's More or Less. * * * What publishers have to say about Can You Brexit?... "A remarkable feat and a fresh, unique approach." "Brilliant." "Witty." "A terrific concept. "Genius... The Yes Minister comparison is spot-on." |
