The dream is dead: Prime Minister Boris Johnson's GE2019 triumph breaks UK 'remainer' hearts Follow our live blog for more:
LONDON - After all the arguments and all the mass marches, opponents of Brexit faced a stark truth on Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s likely election landslide: there would be no second referendum; divorce from Europe was inevitable.
The 2016 referendum on EU membership has been the most polarizing issue in recent British history, crystallizing divisions between cities and towns, young and old, the winners of globalization and those left behind. While the Conservatives consolidated the vote of those who want to leave the EU, building a coalition of pro-Brexit voters across regional and class lines, campaigners for another referendum struggled to win converts or agree on a unified plan.Gina Miller, a prominent campaigner for a second referendum, was among those accepted there was no way back.
By contrast, the newly created Brexit Party agreed not to run against Conservatives in about half of constituencies to avoid diluting the pro-Brexit vote.
