Brexit Divisions II: The Mother of Migration Debates (Summary)

22 March 2016 Brexit Divisions II: The Mother of Migration Debates Migration is the key opinion shaper and point of controversy in the Brexit campaigns. With this half-day event, we aim to inject factual clarity and critical analysis into the debate, challenging arguments on both sides.
