British Prime Minister Theresa May has clashed with former prime minister Tony Blair over suggestions of a second referendum on Brexit.<br />Ro Aram has more. <br />On Friday, Blair said MPs might back a new vote on Brexit if no other options work. <br /><br />"So, what seemed a few months ago unlikely is now I would say above a 50 percent likelihood - we will go back to the people. Ultimately, this could even make sense to the prime minister, who could perfectly legitimately say I did my best, my deal was rejected by parliament, and you the people must give direction because parliament cannot...."<br /><br />May reacted angrily the day after, accusing Blair of undermining Brexit talks. <br />She added that Blair's comments were an "insult to the office he once held and the people he once served."<br />The former prime minister hit back on Sunday, saying he was speaking in the national interest and in the interests of democracy.<br />He said if May's government cannot reach a divorce deal, then the logical thing is to go back to the people. <br />He added that May was being irresponsible for trying to steamroll MPs into accepting a deal they genuinely thought was bad.<br />As May's Brexit deal hangs in the balance, with many MPs opposed to it, there have been increased calls for a second referendum - which London has repeatedly ruled out.<br />A parliamentary vote is slated for next month and the government has warned the UK could leave the EU without a deal if May's proposal is voted down.<br />Ro Aram, Arirang News. <br />
