the referendum if they wanted to and so this is what we're for against it it took three years we've begin to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided on what to do but it's also true the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they council cross parties and they cut across the country to well a recent poll has found that if a second referendum was to be held a majority of voters would now choose to remain in the e.u. so is the biggest surgeon support for remains since the twenty six thing breaks that vote and there's probably boycott explains a rerun of the referendum wouldn't be without precedent. the people may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. should look like some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the electorate what else can we possibly do. to the british
