People's Vote was a United Kingdom campaign group that unsuccessfully campaigned for a second referendum following the UK's Brexit vote to leave the European Union (EU) in 2016. The group was launched in April 2018 at which four Members of Parliament spoke, along with the actor Patrick Stewart and other public figures.{{cite news | last = Staff writer | title = Brexit: 'People's Vote' campaign group launched | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43774200 | work = BBC News | date = 15 April 2018 | access-date = 16 April 2018 | archive-date = 16 April 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180416234820/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43774200 | url-status = live }}

In October 2019, there was a power struggle within the group. After the Conservative Party achieved an overall majority in the 2019 general election, the group announced that it would rebrand in 2020 to push for a fair deal following the UK's exit from the EU in January 2020.

In July 2017, the Parliament of the United Kingdom established an all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on the UK's relations with the European Union.{{cite news | title = About | url = https://www.eurelations.uk/about | website = eurelations.uk | publisher = EU relations | access-date = 13 June 2018 | archive-date = 2 September 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180902202708/http://eurelations.uk/about/ | url-status = dead }}{{cite news | title = Register Of All-Party Parliamentary Groups: EU relations | url = https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/180606/eu-relations.htm | website = publications.parliament.uk | publisher = UK Parliament | date = 6 June 2018 | access-date = 13 June 2018 | archive-date = 13 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180613161035/https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/180606/eu-relations.htm | url-status = live }} Co-chairs were Chuka Umunna MP (Liberal Democrats, formerly Labour and Change UK) and Anna Soubry MP (Change UK, formerly Conservative); the remaining members of the group were Caroline Lucas MP (Green), Jo Swinson MP (Liberal Democrats), Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru), Stephen Gethins MP (Scottish National Party), Ros Altmann (Conservative), Andrew Adonis (Labour), John Kerr (crossbench), Sharon Bowles (Liberal Democrats), and Dafydd Wigley (Plaid Cymru).{{cite news | last = Lynskey | first = Dorian | title = 'It's not a done deal': inside the battle to stop Brexit | url = https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/28/brexit-not-a-done-deal-battle-to-stay-in-eu-second-referendum | work = The Guardian | date = 28 April 2018 | access-date = 13 June 2018 | archive-date = 13 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180613161007/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/28/brexit-not-a-done-deal-battle-to-stay-in-eu-second-referendum | url-status = live }}

On 1 February 2018 The Guardian reported that a grassroots coordinating group (GCG) representing more than 500,000 members opposed to a hard Brexit had formed, with Umunna as its leader.{{cite news | last = Mason | first = Rowena | title = Groups opposed to hard Brexit join forces under Chuka Umunna | url = https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/01/groups-opposed-to-hard-brexit-join-forces-under-chuka-umunna | work = The Guardian | quote = The main groups opposed to a hard Brexit are joining forces under the leadership of Chuka Umunna to push for the public’s voice to be heard on Theresa May’s final deal to leave the EU | date = 1 February 2018 | access-date = 8 June 2018 | archive-date = 8 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180608002305/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/01/groups-opposed-to-hard-brexit-join-forces-under-chuka-umunna | url-status = live }} Later that month it was reported that George Soros's Open Society Foundations had donated £182,000 to European Movement UK and £35,000 to Scientists for EU, two of the grassroot groups.{{cite news | title = George Soros donates £400,000 to anti-Brexit campaign | url = https://www.ft.com/content/df9ed626-0c61-11e8-839d-41ca06376bf2 | work = Financial Times | url-access = subscription | date = 8 February 2018 | access-date = 7 June 2018 | archive-date = 18 November 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181118215317/https://www.ft.com/content/df9ed626-0c61-11e8-839d-41ca06376bf2 | url-status = live }}{{cite news | last = Elgot | first = Jessica | title = George Soros raises donation to anti-Brexit Best for Britain group | url = https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/feb/11/george-soros-best-for-britain-pro-eu-100000 | work = The Guardian | date = 11 February 2018 | access-date = 7 June 2018 | archive-date = 4 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180604220625/https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/feb/11/george-soros-best-for-britain-pro-eu-100000 | url-status = live }}

In March 2018, HuffPost reported that several pro-EU groups had moved into an office together in London's Millbank Tower in order to co-ordinate their campaign to retain strong links between Britain and the European Union. This was also reported to be in order to work alongside the APPG on EU Relations. Umunna commented, "In our democracy, it is vital that the people get their say on Brexit, rather than their elected representatives in Parliament being reduced to some rubber stamp for whatever plan Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Michael Gove have been putting together behind closed doors".{{cite news|last=Forrester|first=Kate|title=Six pro-EU groups move to new shared office For Brexit fightback|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/six-pro-eu-groups-move-to-new-shared-office-for-brexit-fightback_uk_5aa6a266e4b009b705d4d05a|work=HuffPost|date=12 March 2018|access-date=17 April 2018|archive-date=18 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418161553/https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/six-pro-eu-groups-move-to-new-shared-office-for-brexit-fightback_uk_5aa6a266e4b009b705d4d05a|url-status=live}}

=October 2019 internal power struggle=

On 27 October 2019, Roland Rudd, the founder of Finsbury PR and the chair of Open Britain{{snd}}one of five organisations under the People's Vote umbrella{{snd}}announced he wanted to sack James McGrory and Tom Baldwin, as the campaign's director and director of communications. More than 40 staff members walked out in protest at this decision and Rudd's effort to impose Patrick Heneghan as the campaign's interim chief executive. At a subsequent staff meeting Rudd was criticised as a city PR man who had rarely been seen in the offices and a motion of no confidence in his role was passed by 40 votes to 3. Earlier, Baldwin accused Rudd of taking a "wrecking ball" to a successful campaign through a "boardroom coup" while failing to consult other organisations in the campaign such as the European Movement and For our Future's Sake.{{cite magazine |last1=Griggs |first1=Ian |url=https://www.prweek.com/article/1664651/peoples-vote-campaign-staff-strike-back-against-finsburys-roland-rudd-following-sackings |title=People's Vote campaign staff strike back against Finsbury's Roland Rudd following sackings |date=4 November 2019 |magazine=PR Week |access-date=4 November 2019 |archive-date=4 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804174936/https://www.prweek.com/article/1664651/peoples-vote-campaign-staff-strike-back-against-finsburys-roland-rudd-following-sackings |url-status=live }}{{cite magazine |last1=Fletcher |first1=Martin |title=How People's Vote destroyed itself |date=20 November 2019 |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/brexit/2019/11/how-people-s-vote-destroyed-itself |magazine=New Statesman |access-date=21 January 2020 |archive-date=22 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191222145151/https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/brexit/2019/11/how-people-s-vote-destroyed-itself |url-status=live }} Rudd later resigned as chair of Open Britain but retained control of money and data through a new holding company he had formed for the purpose called Baybridge UK.{{cite news |last1=Syal |first1=Rajeev |title=Roland Rudd exits People's Vote amid continuing rancour |date=15 November 2019 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/15/roland-rudd-exits-peoples-vote-amid-continuing-rancour |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=21 January 2020 |archive-date=30 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200130201821/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/15/roland-rudd-exits-peoples-vote-amid-continuing-rancour |url-status=live }} Alastair Campbell, a former head of strategy and communications in Tony Blair's Downing Street, accused Rudd of putting his personal status ahead of efforts to stop Brexit through a new referendum.{{cite magazine |last1=Campbell |first1=Alastair |date=23 November 2019 |title=How a PR guru hijacked the People's Vote campaign |url=https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/11/how-a-pr-guru-hijacked-the-peoples-vote-campaign/ |magazine=The Spectator |access-date=21 January 2020 |archive-date=30 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200130202018/https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/11/how-a-pr-guru-hijacked-the-peoples-vote-campaign/ |url-status=live }}

Criticism

Co-chair of Leave Means Leave, Richard Tice, branded the campaign a "losers' vote" following the London march in October 2018.{{cite news |url=https://news.sky.com/story/march-in-london-calling-for-peoples-vote-on-brexit-11530091 |first=Rebecca |last=Williams |title=March in London calling for people's vote on Brexit |work=Sky News |date=20 October 2018 |access-date=4 January 2019 |archive-date=5 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190105043410/https://news.sky.com/story/march-in-london-calling-for-peoples-vote-on-brexit-11530091 |url-status=live }} Chris Bickerton, a lecturer in politics at the University of Cambridge, argued that a second referendum advocated by the campaign undermined principles of parliamentary democracy. In an opinion piece in The Guardian, he argued that the campaign promoted the idea that Leave voters in the 2016 referendum failed to understand what was at stake, a view that he characterised as elitist.{{Cite news |last=Bickerton |first=Chris |title=Arrogant remainers want a second vote.

Owen Jones offered a left-wing critique of the movement; he said that despite Labour's policies and actions to support a second referendum, People's Vote still routinely attacked its former leader Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party, indicating a potential ulterior motive in stymying progressive voices in the United Kingdom.{{Cite news |last=Jones |first=Owen |title=Corbyn has committed to a people's vote, so why do remainers still attack him? |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/22/jeremy-corbyn-peoples-vote-remainers-labour-election |work=The Guardian |no-pp=yes |page=Opinion |date=22 September 2019 |access-date=23 September 2019 |archive-date=23 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923005709/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/22/jeremy-corbyn-peoples-vote-remainers-labour-election |url-status=live }}

People's Vote commissioned a report into the economic effects of former Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal. The report, published late November 2018 by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), stated that the deal 'will cost UK £100bn' a year by 2030.{{cite news | last = Staff writer | title = Brexit deal 'will cost UK £100bn' a year by 2030 | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46338585 | work = BBC News | date = 26 November 2018 | access-date = 26 November 2018 | archive-date = 26 November 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181126030213/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46338585 | url-status = live }}{{cite book | last1 = Hantzsche | first1 = Arno | last2 = Kara | first2 = Amit | last3 = Young | first3 = Garry | title = The Economic Effects of the Government's Proposed Brexit Deal | url = https://www.niesr.ac.uk/publications/economic-effects-prime-ministers-brexit-deal | publisher = National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) | location = London | date = 26 November 2018 | access-date = 27 November 2018 | archive-date = 27 November 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181127064812/https://www.niesr.ac.uk/publications/economic-effects-prime-ministers-brexit-deal | url-status = live }} [https://www.niesr.ac.uk/sites/default/files/publications/NIESR%20Report%20Brexit%20-%202018-11-26.pdf Pdf.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227153734/https://www.niesr.ac.uk/sites/default/files/publications/NIESR%20Report%20Brexit%20-%202018-11-26.pdf |date=27 December 2020 }}
