Is Brexit Inevitable?
After the UK's historic vote to leave the European Union, the new prime minister has said 鈥淏rexit means Brexit鈥�. But some have suggested that Brexit may not actually happen.
鈥淏rexit means Brexit,鈥� says Theresa May, Britain鈥檚 new prime minister. It sounds pretty unequivocal: the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union, so that鈥檚 what it must do. But credible figures from US Secretary of State John Kerry to former prime minister Tony Blair have suggested that Brexit may not actually happen. Is that 鈥� legally, politically, democratically 鈥� possible? The Inquiry has the answer.
