Book excerpt: At the beginning of 2016, Prime Minister Cameron is visited by three visions; Politics Past, Politics Present and Politics Future, all warning him not to call the referendum. Feeling the pressure, though haunted, he calls it regardless. He loses the referendum, to the dismay of his old friend Pegasus, the winged-horse; the emblem of liberty. Pegasus and a group of his friends who dwell near the Prime Minister's home in Oxford, decide to hold seven politicians captive inside Raven Spires at Glasgow University, and hold them to account for their visions of Brexit.Two years of debate, though, inside the gothic tower of a university in a city that voted heavily to Remain, nor any other events and progress elsewhere in the country or in the European Union, is enough to bring the politicians to a consensus.Pegasus insists on holding the politicians until the very last moment on 31st October, as the ending remains a mystery until that fateful day.
