Joshua Hockley-Still

Discipline: History

Project Summary

My thesis is titled 'Euroscepticism in the Labour Party: The Role Played By The Labour Common Market Safeguards Committee From 1975' and will investigate the nature of the Euroscepticism espoused by various Labour politicians over the past 50 years. In particular, I plan to examine the role played by the Labour Common Market Safeguards Committee, the main Labour Eurosceptic group of MPs in Parliament. I also intend to examine how Labour's history of Euroscepticism can help us understand the present, where over a third of Labour voters confounded expectations in voting to leave the EU.
