Labour leadership contender says Britain should vote again on Brexit

London: Britain should vote again on whether to remain in the European Union once a Brexit deal is agreed, Owen Smith, one of three candidates vying to lead Britain`s opposition Labour Party, the Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday.

Smith, who announced his candidacy to succeed Jeremy Corbyn at helm of the centre-left party on Wednesday, said many Britons who backed leaving the EU believe they were misled and should be given a second chance to vote.

"That does mean a second referendum or a general election when the terms are clear. The Labour government should be committing to that," he told the Guardian newspaper.
