Tony Blair, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007 has called to rise against the Brexit and said he would be launching a campaign to change people’s minds on that issue. In June last year, 51.9 percent of the people of the United Kingdom voted in favor of an exit from the European Union and Mr. Blair is saying that if a significant portion of that 52 percent of the people shows a real change of mind, then the United Kingdom should have an opportunity to reconsider the decision. He is saying that people has voted for an exit without knowing the real terms of the exit and he is saying that once it gets known, then it is the right of the people to change their minds. He suggested that there is already a destabilizing impact visible of negotiation over border arrangements on Northern Ireland peace process. He is likely to launch a campaign to persuade people to change their mind.

In response to that, Boris Johnson, the current foreign secretary who has been a prominent face of the Brexit campaign, said, “We heard all these arguments last year. Not a thing has changed. And I really think it is insulting the intelligence of the electorate to say that they got it wrong…… I urge the British people to rise up and turn off the TV next time Blair comes on with his condescending campaign.”
