Right to Vote was formed in January 2019 as a group of Conservative MPs and peers who advocated holding a second referendum on Brexit. In summer 2019, the group folded.[citation needed]

Right to Vote was founded in the aftermath of the UK government losing the first meaningful vote on its withdrawal agreement with the EU.[3]
