LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JANUARY 30: The UK should renegotiate the terms of its European Union membership with the bloc instead of leaving it, according to a prominent Remain campaigner.Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Gina Miller said she thinks the UK should ditch Prime Minister Theresa May’s already-defeated Brexit deal and remain an EU member.Miller's remarks came on a day May received the support of the majority of lawmakers over an amendment that gives her government a mandate to remove the "Irish backstop" clause from the withdrawal agreement and to negotiate “alternative arrangements” with the EU to avoid a hard border in the island of Ireland.Miller, who is famous for a legal victory she won against the government in the aftermath of the June 2016 EU membership referendum, says the “parliament is sovereign” in the UK and she took the government to court and won in a “momentous case”.In the court case she brought against the government, Miller argued that Article 50, which sets out the conditions for leaving the EU, could not be triggered by the government without the approval of the “sovereign” parliament and she won. As a result, MPs in the House of Commons have had a stronger voice and vote over Brexit legislation.Speaking briefly before the House of Commons voted on a series of amendments, Miller said some of the amendments are telling the prime minister to start the negotiations again, hinting at an amendment proposed by Conservative MP Graham Brady that later gave May a mandate to pull the controversial Northern Irish backstop from her deal.“The EU have said time and time again that they are not going to do that,” Miller said.“So if this is a total impasse, my suggestion to the parliament is that you have had two and a half years, you have got total chaos, but you want this deal to be renegotiated.“Why not renegotiate the deal we already have?”(Footage by Tayfun Salci/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
