Full Description
Between 2016
and 2019, a unique coalition assembled within British politics. Combining
Corbynite campaigners and Conservative Cabinet ministers, celebrities and
grassroots activists, seasoned political veterans and novice political
amateurs, this disparate assemblage of forces was brought together by one aim:
stopping Brexit. What began as the unfocused, often deeply emotional belief
that Britain must not leave the EU morphed, fleetingly, into a mass movement:
the People's Vote campaign, a mess of organisations united by the call for a
second referendum on Europe.
From the
stunts of youth campaigners and the online antics of new pro-EU influencers to
the million-person marches of 2019 and the launch of new centrist parties, many
people, serious and unserious alike, dedicated themselves to securing a new
vote. A campaign premised on telling the nation that they had gotten it
catastrophically wrong was always going to be hard, and it was only made more
so by parliamentary maths that never seemed to quite add up. Based on
interviews with the people who were there, No Second Chances tells
the dramatic, bizarre, and (at times) embarrassing story of one of recent
British history's most feted roads not taken.
