on the brexit final deal
UK 21st February 2018
A new political party will campaign for the
right of the British people to have the final say in
a new referendum about "brexit". In a future general
election they promise to put up candidates for many
seats and attempt to persuade MPs to oppose brexit.
The party calls itself RENEW BRITAIN
From their own presentation:

A new political party is here. We're recruiting
like minded people to #RethinkBrexit &

Stop Brexit – a second referendum
Our country is divided by the EU referendum
because many people feel they were lied to.
We believe a second referendum is
overwhelmingly in the interests of both Brexit and
Remain supporters. This referendum would be on the
final deal negotiated with the EU, so the country can
vote on the reality of Brexit and come to an informed
decision.
With a hung parliament, an election could
happen at any time. We will put pressure on all
politicians to offer a second referendum by standing
parliamentary candidates in every constituency in the
UK. unquote. source https://renewbritain.org/core-ideas/

TO GET A REFERENDUM
ON THE BREXIT TERMS
WE MUST LOUDLY DEMAND A REFERENDUM!
We people of the UK have NO right to obtain a
national referendum on demand. Until this deficit of
our democracy has been removed by effective reform, as
in feudal times we must beg our politicians to allow
us a ballot on an important matter of state such as
"brexit".
Formally, only Parliament can enable a referendum
by passing a special law. So, to promote proposals for
a referendum on the brexit terms, we must contact and
try to persuade our own constituency MPs in addition
to lobbying government and trying to raise broad
public support.
Every small action can help, for instance

and spread this e-mail appeal in social media and to
