Brexit: deal or no deal?

Will the UK go through with its Brexit without a deal or will it manage to scrape one together?

In the aftermath of the 2016 referendum, Brexit negotiations have dragged out in a seemingly endless bureaucratic process, where even the best among us have difficulties keeping up. Prime Minister May has now asked the EU for an extension, with a withdrawal date possibly pushed back until June.

The United Kingdom is divided—between generations, between town and country, between social classes, and even between regions. How will the EU and Europe be affected by Brexit, in whatever form it will take? What will the UK’s role in Europe be in the future? And, in what way has Brexit affected and possibly altered the UK’s constitutional composition and societal divisions?
