people’s vote

Rarely has a moment of national crisis depended so strongly on rhetoric. But much of its logic is flawed, writes philosopher Peter Millican.

Nick Kent, a Conservative Party member for 37 years, urges Tory MPs that their best option is to back a public vote on any Brexit decision.

If Brexit-weary survey participants could see how much longer this debate would drag on after “no deal”, most wouldn’t even entertain it.

Talks between May and Corbyn over softening government Brexit plan has led to calls on both sides for final decision to be put to people.

New referendum came top. But soft Brexit ideas also did well. We now need extra time to explore these properly.

While cancelling Brexit is in the national interest, we need to hold a People’s Vote before doing so - not afterwards.

If PM doesn’t want today’s defeat to be the last gasp for her deal and tear the Tory party apart, she should put it to the people.

Increasing number of hard Brexiters are prepared to vote to turn us into, as they put it, a “slave state”. How is that taking back control?

It’s no coincidence that hours after a million took to the streets, MPs of all stripes and even chancellor are positive on People’s Vote.

Labour leader can be maddening with his pronouncements on a new referendum. But yesterday he took two more steps to back one.

Since second defeat of PM’s deal, support for public vote has surged. But public are sceptical of “softer” Brexit and politicians generally.

After MPs voted down her deal again, PM mentioned a new referendum as an option. Corbyn didn’t. Hopefully, Labour leader isn’t backsliding.
