I believe she can, and that is technically an option. The problem is that this could destabilize the country. Citizens voted and asked for a Brexit to happen. The government is trying to honor that request as it is a democratic country. If it just decided to ignore the vote and cancel any plans for Brexit, the British government would do irreparable harm to the idea of democracy in Britain.
- chrischen 8y agoThey could perhaps vote again.
- zaarn 8y agoVoting until the result satisfies is not a solution either, IMO.
- _nalply 8y agoIn Switzerland it is not a problem to repeat a vote, either after about ten years or if there are new circumstances justifying a re-evaluation or if the proposition has been modified to appease the opponents. Some proposals needed several retries to be accepted by the Swiss. It takes time. I seriously think that UK should stop the process and start again. This is not undemocratic because people now know better (new circumstances justifying a re-evaluation). The process would be like this: 1. The parliament decides to cancel the process 2. A Spanish judge made a proposal how to halt the Brexit 3. An emergency committee tries to find a temporary deal with the EU 4. After a year or so, the popular vote is repeated
