LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s battle to win support for his new Brexit divorce deal raises the possibility that the United Kingdom could hold a fresh vote on membership of the European Union.
The idea of a second referendum has been gathering support among some British politicians as a way to end the political stalemate. But the government has repeatedly ruled out another popular vote saying that to ignore the first one could trigger a constitutional crisis. For pro-Europeans, a new referendum would be a chance to end three years of turmoil. They say the complex issue of EU membership is best solved with a specific question to the public rather than a general election.In April, when the government held a series of votes on the various Brexit options, a second referendum was the most popular option but fell short of a majority, losing 292 to 280.
Campaigners say that to win a majority their best chance of finding people likely to switch to back a new vote is to look among the 66 lawmakers who abstained on the vote last time.
