`Less Stale, Only Slightly Less Male, but Overwhelmingly Less Pale': the 2015 New Conservative Brexiters in the House of Commons

This article will study the new face of Conservative Euroscepticism in the House of Commons, with a special focus on the 2015 intake of MPs who were supposedly `less stale, male and pale' and their attitudes to the British referendum on the EU. In this respect, this article will also take a specific interest in new Conservative Black and Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) MPs who turned out to be more active on the `leave' side of the referendum campaign, thus serving as a showcase for the party's strategy of `decontaminating' the Brexit brand and its hyperglobalist geopolitical perspective.
