Millions have signed a request for Britain to stay in the EU as people prepare to march for the voters’ right to have the “final say” on Brexit, with London’s mayor among them.
The petition on the government-run website asking Britain to “remain in the EU” gained more than 4 million signatures on Saturday morning.
At the same time, thousands are expected to join the ‘Put It On the People March’ in London, demanding that the British public have the “final say” on Brexit. The organizers proposed a plan under which London would call off its immediate decision to quit the EU, and then carry out a separate referendum on the terms of Brexit.
Among those planning to attend the rally is London Mayor Sadiq Khan. “No matter how you voted, I’m sure you’ll agree: Brexit is a complete and utter mess,” he said on Friday, calling on others to join him on the streets.
The nation risks “falling off a cliff edge with catastrophic consequences,” Khan warned, referring to a looming no-deal Brexit.
The prospect of Britain leaving the EU remains the government’s default legal position after Prime Minister Theresa May’s hard-fought plan was rejected twice by Parliament. Consecutive defeats prompted May to frantically engage in a new round of talks with Brussels.
