This book examines the status of UK representative democracy post-Brexit, questioning whether the slogan 'taking back control' effectively restored UK popular sovereignty.

It develops a model of the three modes of democracy in play - parliamentary, party and constitutional - to present an original and nuanced account of contemporary democracy in Britain. Arguing that modern democracy in the UK encompasses elements of all three models, the book suggests that true democratic power involves equipping citizens with civil and political rights while enabling control over political entities.

This is a systematic assessment of the UK's democratic status post-Brexit, providing a framework to discern democratic trends over time.
