Calls for Further Referendum on Brexit Ruled Out

Mr. Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader has ruled out the possibility of another referendum on UK’s membership of European Union. He said that the vote made to Leave in June has to be respected and UK cannot change its stand now.  At the same time, there are some Labour and Lib Dem MPs who have stated that they will resist starting formal Brexit talks unless ministers assure a subsequent vote on the final deal.

Mr Miliband also called for restrictions on freedom of movement rules in the United Kingdom.  Furthermore, the government is appealing against a High Court ruling that states about seeking the approval of Parliament before it triggers Article 50 – the system through which member states exit from the EU.
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said that his party will not ask to “frustrate” the Article 50 process but many of his MPs have decided to go against it if there is voting for same in the House of Commons in early 2017.  Although he supported calls for a parliamentary vote on Article 50, Mr. Ed Miliband mentioned that he did not agree with MPs threats to withhold their support unless some conditions were met. Although he sympathises with the 48% of the Remain voters who were angry and frustrated by the Brexit voting result, he mentioned that the result has to be respected and cannot be changed now.


People applying for UK citizenship are already consulting immigration lawyers in London to see if and how can they stay in the country.
