'Neither Remainers nor Leavers want this'
The government should give the public a chance to say whether they want to proceed with Brexit, now a deal has been secured with the European Union, the former UK transport minister Jo Johnson has said.
βNow that we know what the concrete reality of a negotiated Brexit is, we go back to the people and say: βYou wanted Brexit, this is the negotiated Brexit which the prime minster has delivered, it is the only Brexit that is negotiable, that is on the table, now over to you. If you want it this is it, if you donβt want it there is an opportunity to reconsider that decision',β he said.
It would be a βtravesty of democracy to ignore the public,β said Mr Johnson, adding that βNeither Remainers nor Leavers want this Brexit and thatβs because it is the worst of all worlds.β
