About ProEUForum.UK
(website under development)
The ProEUForum.UK is a meeting ground for over 100 UK and EU academics, activists, journalists, and politicians. Its mission is to facilitate rejoining the EU once UK public opinion - and the EU's - are decisively in favour. In EU terms, this is a super-majority of around 65 %.
The ProEU Forum.UK - previously Where Next for Brexit? - was founded in July 2017 by peer Andrew Adonis, former senior MEPs Richard Corbett and Edward McMillan-Scott (above centre, chairing a Strasbourg voting session), Prof A C Grayling, Henry Porter (chair of the Brexit Conventions), Eloise Todd (former CEO of Best for Britain) and others. The Forum's occasional meetings online or at Europe House, the EU's London representative office, are confidential
Keeping in touch with EU politicians, civil society and governmental representatives
A key function of members of the ProEUForum.UK is the development and maintenance of contacts across the EU. These range from the activities of individuals to the European Movement UK, the largest national member of European Movement International, Best for Britain the leading internationalist campaigning organisation and the political parties and groups who are also within the Forum's ambit.
People's Vote campaign, largest-ever
The ProEUForum.UK, previously Where Next for Brexit?, was the leading fundraiser - over £2 million - for the People's Vote campaign for a second Brexit referendum. Its Finance Committee, chaired by Henry Porter, started work in 2017 and an Editorial Committee, led by Alastair Campbell worked alongside Tom Baldwin as People's Vote CEO. The lead campaign took a suite of offices at Millbank Tower, Westminster, and were joined by eight other smaller pro-EU groups.
People's Vote was the most successful political campaign in living memory. At its peak an estimated one million supporters rallied at Westminster. The same Saturday in October 2019 the ten DUP MPs decided to support the second referendum, giving it a potential House of Commons majority.

However, a person involved in the management company had spent that summer secretly organising sole control of the assets and data of the People's Vote campaign, then sacked the 40 staff at Millbank Tower, changed the locks overnight and closed the campaign.
This coup gave Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings what they wanted - no Second Referendum. The following week, the fateful General Eection was called.
