Will the UK Cancel Brexit? - Brexit Explained

With time running out until Brexit some are speculating that the whole thing might be called off. Maybe a second referendum will mean it doesn't happen. Perhaps a general election will get in the way. Possibly parliament will choose to just cancel the whole thing. We explain how the UK could cancel Brexit and how likely that is to happen in reality.

Who would think that one of the few relatively unbiased news sources, talking about facts and not mixing them with opinions would be a YouTube channel. From my experience most media from both sides manipulate facts to suit their stance. You work hard to avoid that and for it you get my respect.

What exactly is the Norway-style deal? I'm not British, but I'm hearing it mentioned a lot. If it's what I think it is, isn't a Norway deal the exact opposite of the goal of many Brexiteers?

The big mistake was to open the bexit referendum. A referendum on such a complex topic does not fit to a parliamentary democracy and caused a never ending mess. Ironically the Brits as the authors of this proven system of governance have made this crazy mistake!

Guys and girls, watching this from Eastern Europe (EU member :-) your videos are good source of factual information to understand what the hell is happening. Keep up good work !

Soooo MPs might vote on the same deal several times while “the British people have spoken” and shall therefore not be granted a second referendum? I’m not British but that sounds like a double standard to me. 🧐

[davidjward]

Yes please, would definitely like to understand the Norway model.

Brexit is a shitshow... Terrible from beginning to end.

[rochester]

The British be like: "Brexit is Brexit". Also the british : " What is Brexit", "What is EU".

I would like a video explaining why some people want no deal. Majority of the evidence ranges from bad to very bad. Thanks.

By the way, from an outsider's point of view (German), the UK has so much flexibility now that the ECJ ruled that it can unilaterally withdraw article 50 - if your parliament can't figure out a non-damaging way forward, it would really be only the fault of your politicians not being able to get their act together because that's such a generous ruling. Theresa May should have resigned long ago. I wish you didn't have this withdraw-article-50 option so that you get a standard deal, not a UK special AAA+++ deal with all the opt-outs should you rejoin the EU in future, and should you not want to, so be it, too much damage has been made by the Brexit stuff to have a healthy relationship with the rest of the Euopean community at this point in time

This is like a writer killing of a character in a book but bringing them back later and everyone realises they just did it for attention 0

As Australian recently moved in UK I would love be able to have a second referendum and be able to express my will. After 2 years I believe people have a better idea of what is brexit and what options are on our table... I believe this would be democratic rather then ‘yes or no’ binary referendum that was carried in 2016...

Cancel that Brexit. Bud lights for everyone. Cheers.

Thank you TLDR for your unbiased videos. I'm a British Citizen but have lived in France since I was 8 years olds. It is all very confusing and worrying for me, but your videos help me understand the ins and outs of this sh*tfest. I've applied for dual nationality so that I don't get kicked out in March 2019. Fingers crossed !

From an outsiders perspective (Canadian); I cannot help but wonder if a second referendum wouldn't cause a lot more negative backlash among the populous of Brexit supporters than you mention in this video. After all, from a certain perspective, if the government calls for another referendum doesn't it essentially look like the government did not get the answer that they wanted to hear in the first go so they keep asking again and again trying to wear people down until they finally give in and give the "correct" answer (i.e no brexit).

I mean If I was a Brexit supporter I'd be getting pretty peeved off at this notion that the first vote was "totally just practice guys! let's do this for real now!" or that "people didn't know what they were voting for so better do it again!" and I cannot help but wonder what the repercussions would be among those people if all the sudden the Remainers got the win in a second referendum. Would there be violence? Or would the Brexiters "simply" push much harder to elect another government in the next election and hold YET ANOTHER referendum (best two out of three anyone?). I just can't imagine that things will go very well either way as either way you have a large group of frustrated people who don't think their views are being respected. Not an enviable position that's for certain.

I think May should call a second referendum even if it means it destroys the Conservative party forever. So many will be grateful

One thing that the court was clear on is that you cannot revoke art 50 just to buy time.
It must be unequivocal, unconditional and show the intent to stay as a member.

Leaving EU would possibly bring UK economy down and would increase problems.
