Gina Miller demands UK stays in EU to 'REFORM FROM WITHIN' despite public voting to LEAVE
PRO-REMAIN activist Gina Miller said it was "common sense" for the British public to have a second chance to decide whether to remain inside the European Union to "reform" it instead of severing all ties with Brussels.
Pro-remain Gina Miller calls on UK to stay in the EU
The staunch anti-Brexit campaigner has long-argued the British population should hold a new "people's vote" on leaving the European Union.
Mrs Miller initially claimed to be against a second referendum but has since been calling for the British Government to give voters the option to accept or veto the deal negotiated with Brussels.
She said: "We’re in unknown territory from all points of views. Also, nobody is a futurologist: you can’t tell what’s going to happen.
"I believe we should have a people’s vote – not a second referendum – on all the options. That’s whatever the deal is, no deal, and remaining and reforming from within."
In 2016 Mrs Miller challenged Prime Minister Theresa May and her Government to bring Brexit to a vote in the Commons.
Following her legal victory, the businesswoman claimed she was not attempting to overturn the will of the people but to protect the democratic principles around "how we leave the EU."
Speaking to Euronews, she added: "That’s only common sense as far as I’m concerned. That has got to be before the ratification process starts."
Brexiteer Theresa Villiers: Britain is heading for a diluted Brexit
I believe we should have a people’s vote on all the options
It comes after Brexiteer Theresa Villiers said "huge sustained pressure" on the Prime Minister could lead to a Brexit "in all but name."
She said: "We have made compromises. I accept the need for that.
“But I think there is only so far you can go before ultimately you find yourself in a position where you are diluting Brexit so much that it isn’t leaving the European Union in a real sense."
Ms Villiers said Britain must demand from the European Union an end state which is based on Mrs May’s red lines, which were proposed in her Lancaster House speech.
She said there are a lot of people who want to “frustrate” the red lines Mrs May set out in the Lancaster House speech.
