Brexit, The Broken Link and Parliamentary Sovereignty

Há precisamente 120 anos tinha início a Guerra dos Bóeres, apontada como marco inicial do declínio do Império Britânico, meros dois anos após o Jubileu de Diamante da Rainha Vitória, que, por outro lado, simbolizou o apogeu da Grã-Bretanha.[1] Devemos sempre ser cautelosos com as analogias e lições da história, mas permitimo-nos assinalar que, da...
