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.
“I am distraught, and like everyone else in the remain community wish we had more competent representation,” said Mike Galsworthy, an anti-Brexit campaigner, who was sipping a whisky before going to bed after seeing the exit polls come in. But the main opposition parties failed to work together to forge a functional cross-party alliance, mystifying millions of Britons.
Key to the defeat for the “Remain” camp was Labour’s refusal to join an initiative aimed at encouraging tactical voting, whereby people back a candidate in order block another rather than out of genuine support.
