Hundreds of people joined an anti-Brexit rally in Newcastle on Saturday to show their support for a referendum on whatever final deal is negotiated between Britain and the European Union. This, as fears grow Britain could leave the EU without any deal at all. CGTN's Zhang He has the story.

Two years ago, the vast majority of those living in North East England voted for leaving the European Union. Now, now many aren't so sure, and some have changed their minds entirely. Hundreds gathered in Newcastle to say they at least want a public vote on the terms of a Brexit deal worked out between the UK and EU.

'We now as British people we have a great understanding of what actually means to be leaving the European Union. I don't think people really had true understanding of what they were voting for. So I feel that we need a chance to really vote on what our government are negotiating really as we agree that or not."

Having a second referendum would be difficult. Parliament would need to sign off on such a ballot, and time is running short – with the UK's exit now set for next March.

ZHANG HE NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND "A second referendum has been completely ruled out by Prime Minister Theresa May. And the Labour party is still against it but there is a slight shift in public opinion as fears of a no-deal Brexit grow."

The most recent polling shows for the first time more people in favor of a public vote on the final deal than opposed to it -- 42 percent to 40 percent. The Liberal Democrats party is leading the charge for second vote.

VINCE CABLE LEADER, LIBERAL DEMOCRATS "Enormous cost, enormous risks associated with leaving without a deal. Even we leave with a deal as the Prime Minister put forward at Chequers. Her own government don't believe in it and divided. It is very doubtful if it will work in practice. It leaves the country with a much worse position. So a growing number of people are saying we are going to have a look at the final deal and have a public vote on it."

Voters who have changed their minds about Brexit could make a real difference in a second referendum – keeping in mind the narrow result of the 2016 vote.

WILL DRY VOTER "I voted to leave because I thought it would be good for this country. The reality is very very underwhelming to say the absolutely least. Boris Johnson told leavers like me that we will be heading to sunlit uplands. In reality we are heading to situation that where we have to stockpile our medicines and vacancies for six weeks. That's not good for young people in this country growing up. We gonna lose jobs, we gonna lose opportunities. In many cases, our parents and grandparent enjoyed."

Britain is deeply divided two years after voting for Brexit. The idea of a second referendum looks to dominate part of the public debate in the coming months.  Zhang He, CGTN, Newcastle, England.
