was a Vote Leave campaigner during the eu referendum campaign in 2016.In fact,I was one of many Vote Leave volunteers who were in the headquarters on a daily basis.I met Boris Johnson Daniel Hannan and other pro-leave leaders.But I have come to the conclusion that there absolutely should be a referendum on the final Brexit deal.Here's why.Twice now the British people have been asked how they feel about our relationship with the European Union,and twice the British people have said:Hey,I'm not really sure.The first time was at the actual referendum in June 2016,in which the voting public was split 51.9%/48.1%.The second time was the 2017 general election,in which the question of our membership wasn't on the table,but the manner of our exit was,and the result was a hung parliament.The recent revelations concerning Cambridge analytica and AggregatelY,and their involvement in the referendum are serious and troubling.Next to the fact that the gove ment hasnt consulted the public at all on the kind of Brexit it wants,evidence of possible cheating and unethical practices fur-ther undermine the referendum's legitimacy.I wasn’t privy to financial goings-on at Vote Leave.But I remember being surprised when I heard about the formatin.on of BeLeave--the campaign group specifical argeting young people-and even more surprised when I heard the rumour that it was funded by Vote Leave,because that organisation already had a programme of activities to engage young people.I was part of it.Suffice to say,I believe there is evidence of ethical misconduct sing the EU referendum This evidence concerns Vote Leave in the main,but not exclusively.In 10 years'time,shouldn’t we be able to look pack and be certain that the decision to leave was the genuine will of the people,that the new relationship between the UK and the EU was broadly approved of,and that both of those things were in the best interests of the UK?I don't think anybody can say that,even two years after the referendum Why did I vote leave in the first place?Because i listened to the arguments,and nobody on the remain side had satisfactory answers to criticisms of our relationship with the EU.Successive British governments assented to consecutive EU treaties that brought European nations towards"an ever closer union with greater alignment on banking,foreign policy,travel and trade The biggest issues that the world will face over the next century are transnational.Large-scale migration,environmental issues,global food and water shortages,AI and the ethics of advanced technology.Having a substantial framework for national cooperation is a headstart to resolving those issues.I believe that it's possible to want to leave the EU and want international cooperation at the same time,but,setting aside their rhetorical flourishes that doesn't seem like the vision that the chief Brexi teers actually want The UK doesn't need a second in/out referendum-it would defeat the purpose of the first one However,it is vital that the Uk has another,separate referendum on the terms of the final exit arrangement.In that referendum,the public should have the opportunity to accept the deal the government has negotiated,to reject it and ask that it renegotiate,to reject it and leave the EU without a deal,or to remain in the EU he prime minister knows that delivering Brexit,any Brexit,has become an existential issue for the Conservative party in the medium term.So if there is to be another referendum,the government will have to be forced into granting it.This will be an extremely difficult task,and I'm not optimistic about our chances.But over the next year,I'm going to be campaigning with everything I have for that possibility.After all,I'm one of the people who got us into this mess

Let’s start by revisiting Boris Johnsons interview with Deutsche Welle last month,on whether the poison used in the Salisbury attack came from Russia:Boris Johnson:Let me be clear with you.When I look at the evidence,I mean the people from Porton Down.the laboratory Deutsche Welle:So they have the samples Boris Johnson:They do.And they were absolutely categorical and I asked the guy myself,I said“Are you sure?”And he said there's no doubt Well,that's odd.I could have sworn Gary Aitkenhead of Porton Down told Sky News that the precise source"of the poison could not be identified.One of these men is wrong.Could it be the scientist who deals in cold hard evidence for a living,or Britain,s Donald Trump complete with ludicrous hair,incomprehensible oratory and a casual relationship with the facts A functional British press would have investigated whether our foreign secretary may have lied to the world about the activities of another country,but alas the media's leading lights were too busy implying Jeremy Corbyn's attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism Here we have two responses to foreign policy one is based on the careful examination of the evidence and employing diplomacy,the other involves rushing headlong into a contlict with a heavily armed superpower.The foreign secretary has opted for the second option,being careless with the facts in order to achieve it.The first-the one we can now perhaps agree is preferable--was derided by much of the media,the Tories,and Labour's self-styled moderates as being disunited and unserious Inevitably,Russia has clutched its national pearls over the comments from Porton Down and accusations of such a heinous act,and tensions with Britain have escalated.and yet Boris Johnson,whowas gleefully stoking the fire just two weeks ago,remains in post.Surely one of the most basic requirements of being foreign secretary is not lying on the international stage and deteriorating relations with other countries?There are numerous possible reasons for Johnson's Teflon-like qualities.Perhaps the privilege of rich white men really is so pervasive that they can literally do whatever they feel like and not suffer any consequences.Perhaps the reason it's so hard to shame Johnson is that he appears to lack the capacity to feel shame.In any case,a straw must surely break the camel's back-and it may as well be this.If lying to the country about something so serious doesn't return Johnson to the back benches,what will it take?
With a sense of crisis mounting and the EU unable to respond, countries will be increasingly inclinedto act unilaterally or even---in the case of Britain--leave the bloc altogether.The refugee crisis is already threatening cherished ideas about open borders. In the past couple of days, Germany has reimposed frontier controls with Austria---which, in turn, has imposed controls at its border with Hungary, which itself is working feverishly to complete a barbed-wirefence to protect its frontier with non-EU Serbia. Controls have been tightened on the French-Italian borders, while migrants camp miserably in Calais, hoping to cross to England.If the EU somehow gets a grip on the migrant crisis, these measures might be no more than temporary expedients. But if the pressure of would-be refugees heading for Europe remain intense, then temporary measures could harden into permanent controls.Questions marks over open borders will easily shade into wider issues about access to welfare systems and labor markets. That is because EU countries are realizing that—in a border-free single market—a unilateral change of asylum rulesby Germany had implications for the immigration policies of all member states. Once migrants get citizenship in one EU country, they have the right to move to any other, to work there and to claim benefits. But if free movement of people and labor come into question, so does the EU`s single market—its central achievement.The refugee issue has for the moment, overshadowed the euro. But the problems of the single currency have not gone away. On the contrary, Greece's decision this summer to knuckleunder and accept yet another austerity package has made the Eurozone look increasingly like a trap.Even Greece, which is profoundly unhappy with life in the Eurozone, cannot risk leaving for fear of provoking a financial and economic crisis. Creditor countries such as Germany and the Netherlands are not much happier, as they fear they are being dragged into a system of permanent fiscal transfers towards the nations of Europe. Meanwhile, efforts to make the euro work better,by pressing ahead with a banking union, are stuck in Brussels. This does not look like a sustainable situation and the risk of euro break-up will surely return.The refugee and euro crisis bear on whether Britain will vote to stay in the EU, when it holds a referendum in 2016 or 2017. Until recently, the opinion polls looked promising for the pro-EU camp. But the migrant crisis plays directly into the most potent issue deployed by those campaigning for Britain to leave-which is that membership ofthe EU means that the UK cannot control immigration. More broadly, the British are less likely to stay inside an organization that seems to be failing. If they vote to leave, the sense of crisiswithin the EU would then mount--raising the possibility of further defections.A partial unravelling and marginalization of the EU still looks more likely than a full-scale collapse. But even if an organization called the European Union continues to exist--- running buildings and paying salaries---it risks becoming increasingly irrelevant.If the Britain's Labor Party is led by a far-left Eurosceptic candidate, what would most likely happen?A. He would choose to stay in the EU.B. He would work with other members of EU to respond to the problems EU faces.C. He would open borders to offer asylum to refugees.D. He would probably hasten the exit of UK from EU.
