国际英语资讯:UKs former PM says parliament should have final vote on Brexit deal

Under those circumstances the so-called Hard Brexiters would support a future arrangement between Britain and the EU where trade and tariffs would be regulated under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, known as a No Deal Brexit.

Brown said he believed that it was not necessary to accept a No Deal. "The alternative of this vote is not No Deal versus the Only Deal on the Table, it seems to me it is possible to go back and renegotiate," he noted.

Once a deal has been agreed, Brown argued, then there should be a second referendum for the British people to give their opinion on the agreement.

"I think there will be a second referendum. I believe that, in the end, the situation will have been seen to have changed since 2016 and that the people should, in the end, have the final say," said Brown.

Brown believed that the process of Brexit had been defective and flawed, as after more than two years since the Brexit referendum vote in June 2016 ,there was still no clarity over what Brexit would mean.

"Whatever the deal and whether there is a deal, the long term questions are unresolved," said Brown, citing an absence of agreement on tariffs, free movement of people, and the power to sign trade deals.

"None of the major issues are resolved. We have at best a short temporary fix instead of a long term destination, a safe harbor," he said.

"We have got a short term temporary fix if we have a deal, because the Cabinet and the government cannot agree what their long-term destination is," said Brown.
