"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.
