Brexit: People's Vote protesters flood streets in Westminster

As the new Brexit deal is currently discussed in the British Parliament on October 19, tens and thousands of people have swarmed the streets in London for the 'People's Vote March'. The protestors demand a 'final say' in the future of Britain and it's divorce from the 28-nation bloc. This demonstration is taking place in Parliament square where the United Kingdom lawmakers currently decide whether to delay the Brexit with several days or go ahead with Prime Minister Boris Johnson's new deal on October 31.

What is happening in the Parliament?

PM Johnson will present his 'great new deal' for Britain's divorce from the European Union in front of UK lawmakers on October 18. Earlier the Parliament had voted in the majority for a delay in Brexit which according to PM Johnson is due on October 31 so that the country can shift its priorities onto other things. During the weekend session in Parliament, the UK PM has implored the legislators to ratify the deal which was decided on October 17 between the EU leaders and the UK during the EU summit. Moreover, Boris Johnson has also said that the lawmakers should come together as “democrats” to end this feud which has created uncertainty in the country since 2016.
