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.
