The former Prime Minister of the U.K. from 1997 to 2007, Tony Blair, has expressed in his remarks on Friday that the nation’s voters should be allowed another chance to reconsider leaving the European Union. According to Mr. Blair, the voters should be entitled to change their minds on the crucial decision, especially because the last time the voters made the decision without knowing the exact terms of the precise relationship to come with Europe in case they voted against staying in the bloc.

The 63-year-old Blair mentioned in his remarks that “if it becomes clear that this is either a deal that doesn’t make it worth our while leaving, or, alternatively, a deal that is going to be so serious in its implications that people decide they don’t want to go, there’s got to be some way, either through parliament, or through an election, possibly through another referendum, in which people express their view.” Although there hasn’t been any official announcement yet, Mr. Blair is believed to be giving hints of a possible return to politics.

However, the government of the U.K. has so far completely rejected any assertion of another vote. Earlier a judge in Northern Ireland rejected the first legal challenge asking Britain to reconsider its decision to leave the European Union. However, that case is not related to the landmark legal challenge being heard before Britain’s High Court, which argues that Parliament needs to act before Prime Minister Theresa May can trigger negotiations to leave the 28-nation bloc.
