Opinion: The only way out of Brexit lies with the people
An anti-Brexit campaigner shows her support for Europe with a European Union flag outside Parliament in London on Monday. By Lara Spirit March 25 at 4:36 PM Lara Spirit is co-president of Our Future Our Choice, a group of young people campaigning for a second referendum on Brexit.
The contrast between the protest march and the gathering at Chequers, May’s estate, could not be starker. As we took to the streets to stand up against a Brexit plan that would leave us poorer and with less control than our current European Union deal, those with the least to lose from this national humiliation were sitting down to save their party, rather than their country.
The million-strong march was a clear signal of what the country thinks of May’s Brexit deal. The government has failed on every level to craft a deal even vaguely resembling the promises made by Brexit’s chief architects. We were told that Brexit would save us money that could then go toward our National Health Service — but that takes into account neither the inevitable economic losses nor the spending that the government will have to take on after Brexit.
