A campaign for a second Brexit referendum in Britain?

(B2) One year before the country's exit from the European Union, the British pro-EU organization Best for Britain launched a nationwide poster campaign in the UK on Wednesday (28 March) in a bid to secure a second Brexit referendum. " When will we know what we voted for? We all deserve to have the final say on the Brexit deal “, ask these posters.

Ad pages will also be published in daily newspapers such as The Evening Standard and The Guardian. " The campaign aims to involve the public in the campaign calling for a new Brexit vote “Best for Britain said in a statement. Voters are deeply and increasingly frustrated at not knowing what Brexit means “, explains Mark Malloch-Brown, the president of the group which obtained a donation of at least 400.000 pounds sterling from the American billionaire George Soros.

Several pro-EU initiatives have sprung up recently in the UK, building on the uncertainties of Brexit to try to reverse the process of leaving Europe, scheduled for March 29, 2019. In early February, anti-Brexit movements had launched a common platform, the Grassroots Coordinating Group (GCG), to coordinate their efforts in order to influence negotiations with Brussels, or even try to obtain a new vote. Andrew Adonis, a Labor member of the House of Lords, has launched his own campaign alongside a group of young people who want to democratically stop Brexit, Our Future, Our Choice.
