Former UK Prime Minister John Major urged the current government to revoke Brexit notice to the EU now. He said, “We need to revoke article 50 with immediate effect. The clock, for the moment, must be stopped.”
He added, “It’s clear we now need the most precious commodity of all: time. Time for serious and profound reflection by both parliament and people. There will be a way through the present morass, there always is.”
Also, he said Brexit will weaken UK’s position in the world. He argued that “We are a more valued ally for America because of our influence in Europe and we are more valued by Europe because of our close relationship with America.” And, “Britain, shorn of both these long-standing allies, will be seen by the world as a mid-sized, middle-ranking power that is no longer super-powered by her alliances.”
