accused and associated with an extraordinary range of evils but it is also correctly applied to analyze current events beginning with brexit and the united kingdom's vote to leave the european union. in 2016, nationalism is associated with the rise of donald trump in 2016 and associated with electoral victories from governments in italy across eastern europe and in other countries in the democratic world among them israel and india and japan. it is not an exaggeration to see the democratic world has taken a turn towards nationalism and understanding what this is and what it's about is the most important challenge in our time. and adding to the interest of the subject we haven't seen anything since world war ii at least. the progression to reassert in the democratic world, a desire for national independence and determination with the claim the governing eco- sore policies of the major western powers are against self-determination it comes as an astonishing and original fact. but most see it as something dangerous. today i will not defend specific individuals or administrations or political parties. but i want to defend the trend itself i don't have a crystal ball whether the itali

associated with latin telenovelas. what do you say to that as a former prime minister. >> well, it's a difficult time for us. the situation is this, the country voted to leave european union in 2016. since then we've had negotiations. what the negotiations reveal is that in the end britain faces a choice of two different futures. it can either stay close to the trading system of the european union, because we've been four and a half decades in europe, so you've got a host of commercial relationships, investment relationships, trading relationships. for 4 1/2 decades, our economy has been trading within the european system. roughly 60% of our trade is gompgomp gomp governed by european systems. you can stay close europe will say if you would like access to our markets like you are now, you have though keep to our rules. right? you can't join the club or be part of the club and have your own rules. that's one brexit. the problem with that is it immediately leads you to the question, well, what's the point of brexit then. if the purpose of prex is to break free of all those rules and you stay part of the european system, people say, well, we've left but we've not left. okay.
