T. Blair: Nothing prevents the London organizing a new referendum to avoid Brexit
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed today estimating that nothing prevents Britain to hold a second referendum on the Brexit, considering that the divorce with the EU will prove "very, very hard" against the rigid European leaders.
"There is no reason to close the door to all options. We may continue to reflect upon and if necessary to change our minds. There is no one elite reject his people, "said Blair, speaking on BBC Radio 4.
"If at the end of the course prove that the agreement is not satisfactory, or that there will be such serious consequences that the world no longer wants to leave the EU, then you need to find a solution, either through parliament or perhaps through a new referendum, "he added.
But the newspaper «The New European», the former prime minister (1997-2007) featuring "disaster" the Brexit and invites advocates of stay in the EU to "mobilize" against zealots divorce with Brussels.
"We are now the insurgents," writes the weekly, pro-European, leaf Blair four months after the referendum, as the result of 52% gave the victory to the anti-European forces.
He reveals how recently spoke with French President Francois Hollande on the challenges to be faced by Britain during the negotiations for the exit.
"This conversation convinced me that going to be very, very tough. We will not negotiate with European entrepreneurs who would like to have the greatest possible access to Britain. People with whom you negotiate are political leaders of the EU and their parliaments, so in my opinion the future is a very complicated negotiation, "said Blair, in which Britain would have to make major concessions in order to maintain access to the single market if it does not want to face "serious" economic consequences.
