Neoliberalismo, Sindicalismo, Grã-Bretanha, BrexitResumo
Nos últimos trinta anos, a classe dominante britânica sofreu uma profunda divisão em relação à questão da Grã-Bretanha fazer ou não parte da União Europeia. A divisão culminou no referendo do chamado “Brexit”. O Partido Conservador (Tories) se dividiu entre os favoráveis à permanência e os favoráveis a deixar a União Europeia, duas alas neoliberais com interpretações diferentes sobre a melhor maneira de conquistar lucros para a seção do capitalismo britânico que cada uma representa. O Partido Trabalhista se dividiu entre a ala neoliberal, favorável aos negócios, e a ala reformista, social democrata. Os sindicatos, com uma ou duas notáveis exceções, conduziram suas atividades conforme os parâmetros da política parlamentar e ansiaram, desesperadamente, uma vitória trabalhista. A recente eleição geral deu vitória total aos Tories, favoráveis a deixar a União Europeia, o que é potencialmente desastroso para os sindicatos e seus membros.
