the british daily Express spoke to some of the people who came out to protest in Westminster. Steve Bray is a Briton who has maintained this demand since 2019 and although he is aware that “the ‘Brexit’ is already done” he considers that “it is the ‘Brexit’ that has destroyed our economy, which right now is behind that of the members of the G7”. That is why Bray demands that “general elections be called.”

When asked if the UK could return to the EU, Bray maintains that “We must negotiate an agreement, return to the single market and progress from there”. Furthermore, he is convinced that if a referendum were held today, the result would be that 60% of Britons would be in favor of rejoining the EU.

Although he acknowledges that “there are also those who voted to leave the EU and who said they would fight to the death to stay out. But what we must do first is to solve our political problems.”

British society is divided around ‘Brexit’ and there are many who do not agree with these protests. Some even question the democratic legitimacy of calling for the UK to rejoin the EU when citizens have already voted to leave.
