Tara McCormack draws the parallels between the possible dissolution of the United Kingdom and the previous dissolution of Yugoslavia.
Opposition to the shameful British role in destroying that (rather Anglophile) multinational state first began to bring back together the traditional British Right and the traditional British Left, each of which found itself excluded from consideration and debate.
As the Union is redefined, that redefinition needs to be informed by a strong affinity with the recent historical reality of workers’ self-management and profit-sharing within a multinational state which included both culturally Christian and culturally Muslim places and peoples, and which enjoyed vast global influence while resolutely pursuing peace and eschewing transnational military power blocs.
