a public vote on the negotiated break the terms of business leaders warn that the country faces a destructive heartbreaks it and want the public to have another vote u.k. government opposes allowing other referendum on bracks it it argues the british people decided on the matter in the twenty sixth steam consultation. i'm joined now by joe merkins an associate professor of law at the london school of economics joe business leaders have called for a second vote on breaks it to increase pressure on prime minister may is public support starting to shift on the issue. well it certainly looks like this is right on the back of a the second biggest march in britain's history seven hundred thousand people marched a few weekends ago in central london but the visual people from all over the world and now we have this letter from seventy businesspeople i think what will put pressure on the government is less what business people think because we know what

they think the business community has been united on the question they are against the u.k. leaving the e.u. since twenty sixteen but what will increase the pressure is if ordinary people voice their dissatisfaction with the future arrangements. here not to reason may has said she wouldn't allow another voyage how likely is it that we'll see a fresh referendum. well that's of course the million euro question that two challenges here the first challenges for to reason made to get a deal with the european union we're told that it's ninety five percent complete or something like that and let's assume that there will be a deal in the next three weeks all suffer so the next challenge and arguably the much greater hurdle for the prime minister is to sell that deal to her parliamentarian this and her party and that will be the outcome of that is uncertain because the her her own government may well reject any deal she can come

up with in and then people are saying we need to go the country needs to go to a referendum again to have clarity but then the question is well clarity on what is it on the rejected deal the deal that government rejected or is it only remaining in the european union right now all options are open from remaining to a crashing out without a deal well precisely let's say that a deal is a great upon the government and then it is taken to the people what with the consequences for the government eve if people rejected that deal that was a great upon. well you see that's another very good question because the government has been beholden to the people's vote in twenty sixteen and ministers have said well even though this is not what we would that this is not a situation that we campaigned for we have to campaign for break that because the people voted for it it could be a slightly similar thing here if the people vote for whatever they vote that the

government would find themselves to be in hock to the people if the government agree a deal i don't think that it will go to the people's vote i think it's more likely we're more likely to have a referendum if the government reject a deal and the u.k. is faced with a stark choice of crashing out without a deal or what world or something else the bigger issue though is that time is running out setting up a referendum takes months at least twenty two weeks and so an urgent priority would be to get some sort of extension on article fifty in order to have a referendum because it's now almost impossible to have one before the twenty ninth of march right so running out of time can thank you very much associate professor of law at london school of economics. now to some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump is spending the final weekend before tuesday's midterm
