Description
Four stickers and a flyer sharing anti-Brexit sentiments, and calls for a People's Vote to solve the Brexit impasse.
Public opinion on the British withdrawal from the European Union (colloquially called 'Brexit') was divided strongly between 'Remain' and 'Leave' in the lead up to the EU Referendum in 2016. Following the referendum, the division continued, possibly becoming stronger over time due to the complexities of withdrawing fro the EU and the successive delays to the process.
As time passed after the referendum, some people started asking for another vote to let the people decide - in a legally binding referendum - how the UK should withdraw from the EU - with a deal or without a deal. Many people campaigning for a People's Vote also wishes to include the option to remain in the EU.
