Related: About this forumMarchers demand final Brexit deal vote
Tens of thousands of people have marched in central London to demand a final vote on any UK exit deal, on the second anniversary of the Brexit vote.
Organisers of the People's Vote march say Brexit is "not a done deal" and people must "make their voices heard"...
It came as senior Cabinet ministers, including Liam Fox and David Davis, insisted the UK is prepared to walk away from talks without an agreement....
The organisers have said that at least 100,000 people attended the march.

True, but normally that happens when the government loses an important vote

With evidence of Russian interference mounting, it may be hard for them to avoid it

I hoped that would happen with the most recent vote concerning Brexit, but May pulled that one off.

undoing Brexit itself. There is almost zero chance that revocation of freedom of movement will be undone. Multiple Labour MP's are in constituencies that voted Leave.

(1,461 posts)8. I unfortunately do not see that happening.
Let's hope we get one and end this Brexit tosh.

if they found significant election interferences then maybe it could be justified
