Tony Blair has said that the U.K. cannot rule out a second referendum on its EU membership
Tony Blair has said that the U.K. cannot rule out a second referendum on its EU membership, but that the priority for both sides of the debate had to be reaching a sensible deal with the bloc.
Asked on the BBC’s Sunday Politics show whether he would back a second referendum, Blair said: “As I’m looking at it here, I can’t see how we could do that. But the point is: why rule anything out?”
He said that after a divisive campaign short on policy detail, both sides had to come together and lead the public through an open process of redefining the U.K.’s relationship with Europe:
“If there is a desire in the Leave camp to try and bring the country back together,” he said, “I think we also have to show a maturity in the politics of Remain and work out how we do this best for the country.” …. http://europe.newsweek.com
