It would be soon enough that the voters who backed an exit from the European Union in the June referendum would realize that their new foreign minister and most popular face of the exit camp, Boris Johnson was either acting stupid or simply lying about the future prospects of an exit from the Union.

Mr. Johnson repeatedly said to the people of the United Kingdom that the country can cut back on immigration while keeping its access to the European Union, a deal that no country have so far. Both Norway and Switzerland, which have access to the EU single market had to accept freedom of movement. Recently Switzerland faced rebukes from the EU for trying to suggest that they would like to halt immigrations. Naturally to keep other partners in check, the European Union simply can’t guarantee Britain a deal what it won’t to others. Brexit means Britain isn’t a European nation anymore, its status is same as Norway or Sweden.

Now, that can form another basis for a second referendum. A betrayal by exit backers or rather misguiding by them could form a political basis on which the stay campaigners may push Britain’s new Prime Minister Theresa May to hold a second referendum.
