8: The young campaigner determined to stop Brexit - a podcast by Reach Podcasts

Can Brexit be stopped?Femi Oluwole thinks so. He’s set up the campaign, Our Future, Our Choice, to make the case for a second referendum.The 27-year-old argues that young people are being robbed of the chance to dictate their own future.He says that by 2021 the majority of the UK population will be remain.This is because leave voters, who were older, are dying out and being replaced by younger voters, the majority of whom are in favour of staying in the EU.“Within four or five years of the referendum we will have population that wants to Remain.“Pursuing Brexit knowing it’s against the will of the people who will be living with Brexit is a democratic failure” he says.Femi says the only answer is another referendum on the terms of the deal.And it has to be done in the next 12 months or Britain would only be able to return to the EU on worst terms.Talking to the Mirror's Jason Beattie, he explains why he started Our Future, Our Voice, how he is reaching out to areas which voted to leave and why the 2016 referendum was a failure by both camps.He also gives a very simple explanation of the single market.
