Full Description
Between 2016 and 2019, a
unique coalition assembled within British politics. Combining Corbynite campaigners,
Conservative Cabinet ministers, celebrities and grassroots activists, this
disparate collection of forces was brought together by one aim: stopping
Brexit. What began as the unfocused belief that Britain must not leave the
European Union morphed into a mass movement: the People's Vote campaign, a mess
of organisations united by the call for a second referendum.
From the stunts of youth
campaigners and the online antics of pro-EU influencers to the million-person marches
of 2019 and the launch of new centrist parties, many tactics, serious and
unserious alike, were used to try to secure a fresh vote. A campaign premised
on telling the nation that they had got it catastrophically wrong was always
going to be hard, and it was only made more so by parliamentary maths that
never quite seemed to add up.
No Second Chances tells
the dramatic, bizarre and at times embarrassing tale of the battle for a second
referendum, the descent into infighting and the implosion of the People's Vote
campaign in full for the first time. Based on exclusive interviews with those
on the front line, this is the sensational inside story of one of recent
British history's most feted roads not taken.
