As per the British rules, the parliament is sovereign, not the people. Technically the parliament doesn’t have to care about any referendum.
“My message folks tonight is, as much as I don’t want a second referendum, it would be wrong of us on a Leave Means Leave platform not to get ready, not to be prepared for a worst-case scenario.”May must ‘try something different’ on Brexit, Amber Rudd says He added: “We’ve now got to move into a different gear. We’ve got to start forming branches and active groups all over this country.
“We’ve got to re-engage with those millions of people who never voted in their lives before.
“And if all our efforts come to nothing because we leave at 11pm on March 29th, then so much the better.
“But can I urge you, can I implore you to get ready for every situation. I think they will, in the next few months, betray us completely – and let us be ready not just to fight back, but if it comes we will win it next time by a much bigger margin.”
His warning comes amid growing support for a Final Say vote, with parliament set to reject Ms May’s proposed deal.
Labour MP Kate Hoey spoke alongside Mr Farage at the Leave Means Leave rally and caused a stir by appearing to equate Brexit with the IRA as a threat to a united Ireland.She said: “We didn’t spend 30 years in Northern Ireland stopping IRA terrorists killing soldiers, police and civilians in order to get a united Ireland, to allow a few jumped-up EU bureaucrats and a complicit prime minister to try and do the same thing by the back door.
“Even more ridiculous is that it would not even be in the economic interests of Northern Ireland who depend on so much of their trade to and from Britain. Why is a British prime minister dancing to the tune of an Irish Taoiseach? There’s no need for a hard border and there’s no need for a backstop.”
