A comparison of two White Papers. The first in 1971 when the UK wanted to join the Common Market and the second, in 2018, for the Brexit. The first had a strong political momentum and a real ambition, the second lacks of a vision.

“The 1971 White Paper had the guts to say a very hard thing: if you renounce an imperial past but fail to embrace a European future you will find yourself nowhere much. The 2018 White Paper is merely a rough map of that nowhere.”
