„Like so many Londoners, I am heartbroken that we are no longer a member of the European Union, but that doesn’t mean our country’s future can’t be closely linked with the rest of Europe,“ the mayor of London said. „The prime minister says his job is to bring the country together and move us forward and I cannot think of a better way of reconciling the differences between British voters who wanted to leave, and the millions of Londoners and British nationals who still feel and want to be European,“ he said.
However, Guy Verhofstadt, the former prime minister of Belgium who until recently was the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator, is urging the EU institutions to at least consider the concept.
