A senior lawmaker in Britain's main opposition Labour party has ruled out that its leadership will definitively pursue a second Brexit referendum vote as its next course of action.
The comments follow Parliament's outright rejection in a vote Wednesday night of Labour's alternative Brexit proposal, which included a permanent membership of the EU's customs union.
"There may be other opportunities for us to put it again," she told CNBC of the proposal,"because we don't know what's going to happen in the next few days." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had last night somewhat ambiguously endorsed a second public vote pertaining to EU membership, which was first adopted as an element of the party's official platform by grassroots members during a September 2018 national conference.
And Corbyn's previously hesitant and often reticent stance about a referendum re-run has left many members of his parliamentary colleagues uncertain as to the level of support he will be willing to grant this course of action in future parliamentary maneuvers.
