Tony Blair: U.K. may need a second vote on Brexit

The former Prime Minister said the U.K. should keep its "options open" over its decision to leave the European Union until it becomes clear what kind of deal it can get.

"If it becomes clear that this is either a deal that doesn't make it worth our while leaving, or alternatively a deal that's going to be so serious in its implications, people may decide they don't want to go,”


He said there could be a way to reverse the June referendum result if the British people change their mind. That could take place via a vote in parliament, a general election, or even another referendum.
"We just don't know what we're going to be offered as an alternative and once we know we'll be in a position to make a decision," he said.

Blair is not the only one suggesting there are still options to avoid leaving the EU. At least five legal challenges against Brexit are being considered by U.K. courts.
