LONDON - After all the arguments and all the mass marches, opponents of Brexit faced a stark truth on Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s likely election landslide: there would be no second referendum; divorce from Europe was inevitable.
The 2016 referendum on EU membership has been the most polarizing issue in recent British history, crystallizing divisions between cities and towns, young and old, the winners of globalization and those left behind. While the Conservatives consolidated the vote of those who want to leave the EU, building a coalition of pro-Brexit voters across regional and class lines, campaigners for another referendum struggled to win converts or agree on a unified plan.Gina Miller, a prominent campaigner for a second referendum, was among those accepted there was no way back.
By contrast, the newly created Brexit Party agreed not to run against Conservatives in about half of constituencies to avoid diluting the pro-Brexit vote.

The DNC is reported to be “shell shocked” ! They know this vote reflects the mood in America. Nancy and AOC really blew it. 😡😡😡😡

This is Putin’s handiwork. Russia definitely had a hand in Britain’s election! The majority of people did not want a Brexit! Beware America 2020!
Congrats Boris and have a successful breakaway from Europe
Why is Elmo there? And why is there a tin can robot photobombing in the background?
Wow, the Marxists are angry. Again. Congrats on your liberation, UK. Prepare for dumb angry mobs to rage on behalf of the machine.
It’s over for Jeremy Corbyn and his radical socialism; the British people stared into socialism and said, thanks but no thanks!
Scotland partition of ex so called UK is inevitable. US colony in foundation.
they can always flee to Brussels like the hordes...
the sooner those far right idiots are kicked out of the EU, the better off the EU will be
Maybe they shouldnt try to govern with their 'hearts' and emotions and things wont seem that bad.
THIS IS SO VILE. OFF THE CHARTS.
Hopefully, Northern Ireland and Scotland will now start the process to leave the UK. With Brexit, that is the only sane and sensible option.
The polls indicating that Britains wanted to stay in the EU were wrong. Go figure...
Does Boris Johnson comb his hair with a balloon? Asking for a friend.
Really no need for a second referendum to put it mildly.
BULLY!
Dream is dead MSM is dead! Reuter’s use to be respected by most. It’s a liberal hose to the public
ReMOANer... It's remoaner...
Third election supporting Brexit. Is it third time’s a charm or how many times do the people need to vote before the dumb twats get the message?
more like far left socialism has been rejected 😂😂😂😂
Time to start figuring out how to impeach Johnson. BlueWave
Like taking candy from kids...
Pray for Ireland 🇮🇪
No the dream of an independent UK was just saved.
Thank goodness! Dismantle the EU & the UN! All globalist organizations are dangerous to democracy & especially to the American way of life! Good riddance!
