A SALISBURY grassroots group is campaigning for a people's vote as many people have "changed their minds" about Brexit.

Launched in 2016, Salisbury for Europe (S4E) is an organisation for campaigners who support remaining in the European Union (EU), and is currently backing a second referendum on the final Brexit deal, so the public can once more vote whether to Leave or Remain.

S4E has around 1,300 members from Salisbury and South Wiltshire, participating in pro-Remain rallies, working with other pro-EU organisations, and supporting talks from S4E patrons including members of European Parliament, Clare Moody, Julie Girling and Molly Scott-Cato.

Additionally the group has hosted talks with experts in business, agriculture, education, the NHS and the democratic process, in a bid to highlight the importance of maximising the UK's relationship with the EU.

Helen Holdsworth, chairman of S4E, described the people's vote as the "only viable democratic route forward" as "many people have changed their minds about the desirability of Brexit".

She added: "If it transpires that Brexit is still the will of the people, then a people’s vote would confirm that.

"The results would only differ from the 2016 referendum if the will of the people has changed - and in a democracy people do have the right to change their minds.”

S4E member Benjamin White said the group's goal is to keep "Britain at the heart of Europe" adding: "Generally [response has been] good and welcoming as is evidenced by our growing membership and the support for our campaigns and events.

"We believe that we have influenced the shift towards Remain in the Salisbury area, and we have recently detected significant support for a people’s vote."

After the group had a conversation with MP John Glen in February, the MP said it was a "pleasure" to meet the group, adding: "We had an engaging discussion on Brexit for almost an hour in which I made the case for the importance of respecting and implementing the result of a democratic vote.

"The best way of avoiding a no deal scenario is not to campaign against Brexit, but to support the withdrawal agreement negotiated by the prime minister.”
