People's Vote

A People's Vote was a proposed referendum allowing the public to directly decide on the final Brexit terms or whether to remain in the European Union. It aimed to clarify the preferred future relationship after initial negotiations, giving citizens a say amid ongoing political debates. Essentially, it offered voters the chance to confirm or reject negotiated Brexit agreements or to choose to stay in the EU altogether. The idea was to ensure democratic legitimacy and avoid implementing a decision that the public might later oppose. While debated and not ultimately held, the People's Vote symbolized efforts for direct public input on complex Brexit decisions.
