5:35 pm
should that we are facing a cultural revolution and that is part of the in the path of people for freed. and for democracy we are suffering we suffered from dictates of brutality of dictators and we are not paying the price of freedom so. all this counted of nations countries who. stole their christmassy when today and now what do you see now in syria is today the victory of people the elite of spring and that we will not to give up our dreams our second fight and our will to achieve our freedom and democracy to a common thanks for joining me on the front thank you. three times british prime minister tourism has asked the u.k. parliament to approve a deal to get britain out of the european union three times m.p.'s from all sides rejected up she even promised to resign if they backed up but they still didn't
5:36 pm
despite an extension britain is still on course to crash out of the european union with no deal then the three years on from a controversial referendum the country is bitterly divided and the economy has already taken a massive hit is it any wonder that the brics it has been called the u.k.'s biggest political crisis since world war two and is it time to recognise the brics referendum as a catastrophic mistake joining me to debate this of a wall a an anti bracks a campaigner and co-founder of the pro e.u. group our future our choice unclear fox director of the think tank academy of ideas who's called a fantastic mover for popular sovereignty thank you both for joining me in the arena. clare let me start with you here given all the chaos that we're seeing inside of the u.k. parliament given the chaos we're seeing on the streets outside of the u.k. parliament given the way in which britain has become a little bit of a loving stock in the eyes of many around the world is it time to say the bracks referendum of the whole process that ensued was
5:37 pm
a mistake. the whole process has proven to be somewhat traumatic but i can't emphasize enough to view is how exciting and brilliant it was that the vote happened in the first place and i think the chaos that ensued is because of a major democratic crisis which is that the elected parliamentarians in the house of commons disagree with the electorate and so consequently you've got this huge clash of a majority of people who voted to leave the european union were politicised mobilised and took the opportunity to strike a blow for sovereignty and the chaos happened since is because the establishment is don't see lately every think it can a democratic mandate for me it's not fault it's not the fault of bricks it it's the fault of elected representatives going against the people well the problem we've
5:38 pm
got is the reason why it's such a masses we took a pretty two percent rejection of our relationship with the e.u. as if that was somehow if the two percent approval for whatever alternate relationship they decided to negotiate after that why but in two thousand and sixteen was we've always believed the e.u. what effect if we find a blank check as to what our picture relationship with the e.u. is going to be and i could really thousand different things right now we've negotiated a deal but most direct voters do not like so you have the thirty million people who would progress it but they don't like the break that deal that we've just negotiated that because it was completely under find two thousand sixteen and that's why parliament is stuck see the thing is is that the. confusion that families refer to which is to say we didn't know what kind of relationship we'd have with the the idea was that we would sever a formal relationship with the by leaving and subsequent to that there's been a huge amount of machinations and all sorts of technocratic ploys to kind of ensure
5:39 pm
that that relationship would carry on for big business for all the different interested parties in the u.k. he actually didn't approve of the vote so here we are in a situation where people voted to several or sever all ties with the european union is simply not true in two thousand and sixteen yes so many of the people on the remains out of the argument said that we believe in the single market because we knew that's the basis of the trade policy of the e.u. and the regulations of the e.u. but the people on the leave side they're the ones who said we'd keep all the same actors that we currently have to our european market and the right now saying that we'd be losing them if the complete bait and switch it's a mate family. no just no family you see the thing is that that doesn't appear to be any switch may just switch in terms of how voters voted i mean you're making it sound as though everybody here voted to leave the e.u. is having huge regrets but in fact all that's happened is is that the people who
5:40 pm
want to stay have kept up this relentless absolutely hysterical care plenty you know just as are the people have changed their minds are you gov poll done at the beginning of this lead which shows that only forty eight percent of people forty eight percent of people say it was wrong to leave forty one percent say it was right to leave people have changed their minds been three years they see the quails but and they want to change their mind you will let them if we count it based on polls at the moment the majority of people in polls are saying that we should leave without a deal i mean you know polling is a mystery are not it's got a country to run before the referendum it's if you don't trust polls how about another referendum no because understand i think that maybe the viewers will get this you know if you are told in. all seriousness that this is a really important once in a lifetime constitutional vote that the outsourcing of that decision has been given by parliament to the public people mobilized in millions the largest turnout ever in british history if that happens and then what happens is you're basically
5:41 pm
disenfranchised by the way and along the line treat it is that and talked about as chief stupid people who were not informed described into means is racist when those things are thrown at you. right does not and we have to notice it there are some both sides miscellany right now let me let me also i mean the question let me let me i'm trying to explain what it feels like to stood let me put that to me then so you've said another referendum is the only way to reverse this without civil unrest clare's making the point that that's pretty insulting to the people who already voted seventeen million people were told it would be a once in a lifetime vote it would be the final say and then you come along and say well let's do it all again where does it end we just be endlessly running referendums for the next few years i do not want under any circumstances to rerun the referendum in two thousand and sixteen that was a terrible referendum and the reason why it was a terrible random was precisely because it had not been defined we were not told
5:42 pm
exactly what religion you were going to have we have a deal now which takes us out of the european union but most people who vote for break that do not like while i was i was saying what the facts are change i change my mind what do you do. and i don't think the facts of change i think what something is changed mind you democracy is now in jeopardy but on this particular deal i mean i will agree on how bad it is and most people who voted leave thought that believed that there would be negotiations in good faith now people don't think that's what about what would you want to see happen just for the sake of our viewers around the world who are struggling to follow no deal deal indicative vote customs union. backstops two point zero what do you want to see happen at this stage although i wouldn't have said this before but at this stage because as we've been told by the m.p.'s totally all the way through that it's you know no deal is better than a bad deal this is a bad deal i would like no deal one of the things we've learned from this whole
5:43 pm
process is that many leave voters did not do this for economic gain they actually did it on a point of principle about self-determination freedom you know there are more important and they have agreed that until the animate i mean however. there was a sort of gratian lots of it was a major center in their voting decision that is a fact rather than not and see immigration all concerned about immigration is not anti immigrant and confusing those two things would be misleading ok well i gradually learn as i remain politician it's a labor of the there is a not an outbreak of racism in this i didn't say that you said that so there is not what is your solution right now if you could wave a magic wand what is your solution to this undeniable crisis in the u.k. right now classes walk away i'll be mine i'd say that right now the breakfast fundamentally changed the to the two things people wanted more control over their country and to be better off we had no deal which would turn us into the only major economy in the world that doesn't have
5:44 pm
a trade with his closest neighbors or we have this deal which would mean we'd have a substantially and objective be less control over a country than even members given that record does not match up at all with the promises that were made in two thousand and sixteen and has fundamentally changed lives only the most democratic and logical thing i mean is that people get to judge which one they prefer or whether or not they want to scrap the whole thing and remain in the european union that is the most democratic way forward because that negative i mean to say that people do not get to judge the outcome of that class response. ok it's a thing that is extraordinary and maybe people outside don't realize this is that the campaign is for a second referendum the people's vote to take it back to the people of all people who have come pain to remain within the u.k. within the e.u. so you know it is interesting that the only can paint her around not having the people's vote of the people in return nor are you seriously family pleased so one of the co-founders of my organization our preacher our choice voted to leave it is
5:45 pm
because bret has been such a disaster but he is realize that we need to change to change direction drastically so one of the commanders of the tiger or for the random or new or pointedly clear let me ask you this question you said a while ago but you are adamant that another referendum would be anti democratic how does that work how does how is only the twenty sixteen referendum the only example of democracy and not general elections not another referendum why is that one rule for i'm the only democratic truth yet no it's a very important question because of the way the referendum was posed and remember the election did not call the referendum the politicians did they made it very clear that this was a definitive decision and that they were actually asking voters to make that decision they told us that this would have to happen but what you can't say which you can't overturn a referendum is all before it's actually been enacted because if you think that you destroyed trust in politicians the other thing is by the way both mainstream political parties are practically civil war over this that splits in the minds and
5:46 pm
this is as you well know an international phenomena which is that there is a growing gap and kind of running out of steam at the technocratic elites all over the place many instances this is one of the many rebellions against the establishment well firstly yes i'd agree that the politicians are in absolute disarray it's been chaos for the past two years but the idea that this is the people versus the is. whitman just put yourself in that in the mind of somebody who isn't in that parliament right now they know that fifty percent of the population but it's leave the e.u. largely on the basis of having more control over their country and being better off they just negotiated a deal that means we give up our say in brussels we no longer have representation in the e.u. it would still bound by those rules anyway meaning we end up with less control and then even go members with the alternative being a no deal which as i said as i want to tout all that we have the right amount of government resources that has gone this breaks a thing and i will have to spend the next five years because she had me at all
5:47 pm
trade deal ok that would mean all those issues those things that people are really really upset about in two thousand sixteen they will simply not be addressed and that is the tragedy of brags that the only come together is if we focus on the things that we all care about so i mean all all a class ought to have to live there that we can agree on that thank you both for joining me in the arena that's our show up front and we've got mixed. you're putting in. houla women. and. a rich and diverse culture explored through its music istanbul songs of the city zero.
