Right to Vote explained

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.

Right to Vote was founded in the aftermath of the UK government losing the first meaningful vote on its withdrawal agreement with the EU.^[2]
