Right to Vote was formed in January 2019 as a group of Conservative MPs and Peers who advocated holding a second referendum on Brexit. In summer 2019, the group folded.[3]
Right to Vote was founded in the aftermath of the UK government losing the first meaningful vote on its withdrawal agreement with the EU.[4]
Members
Disbanded
In Summer 2019, the Right To Vote campaign folded with the group subsequently deleting their website.[6]
However, the official Conservatives for a People’s Vote (C4PV) and Young Conservatives for a People’s Vote (YC4PV) continued to campaign for a confirmatory referendum, participating in the ‘Let us be Heard’ march in October 2019.[7] Both groups formally disbanded in January 2020.[8]
