Tony Blair admitted Britain cannot continue to "hold referenda" until British voters change their mind on Brexit as he was put on the spot over his support for a second referendum. The former Labour Prime Minister, who has long been a supporter of the European Union project, over the last three years has become an outspoken supporter of plans to have a new vote on the final terms of the withdrawal deal. But 60 Minutes host Sarah Abo challenged Mr Blair on whether Leave voters may seek a re-run of the vote as a "betrayal" of their choice.
Ms Abo said: "Another referendum would betray those who voted to leave in the first place, wouldn’t it?"
Mr Blair attempted to claim a second referendum would allow British voters to make a decision on membership of the EU based on the extra information gathered during the two years of negotiations with Brussels.
Ms Abo continued: "That sounds hopeful and optimistic but you can’t really keep holding a referendum until you get the results you want."
The former Prime Minister replied: "No, of course not."
