Lib Dems come closer than ever to giving the people the final say on the Brexit deal

A fortnight ago just a handful of votes stopped us from giving the British public the final say on the Brexit deal.
If the Labour leadership had voted with us last night, the amendment would have passed. But they didn’t.
On this key issue, the Labour party has gone missing in action.
At the outset of our campaign, few believed we would get this close. But the momentum is now with us.
This vote has shown that since we last voted on the issue a year ago there has been a large shift in favour of giving the people the final say on any Brexit deal.
60% of the British public now believe it is right that they have the final say on a Brexit deal.
Over the coming months, we’ll have more opportunities to secure people the final say on the Brexit deal.
We can do it, we are making a difference.
Votes like last night show just how close things are getting. The Government is weak and soon they will have to face the undeniable right of the British public to have their say. It’s the right thing for democracy and the right thing for our country.
