Stay or Leave a 3 way question? a 2 way question? what if you get the same vote again, then what? what if you get a reverse decision, but of the same proportions (52 v 48) as before? a 3rd vote?

Shelga wrote: » What if the result is a three-way split? Three options doesn’t provide any clarity. People voted for Brexit. May’s deal is the only Brexit possible. So, with this more detailed information, surely they should be able to vote for it, or Remain. Especially now they know they can revoke article 50 at any moment.

Would be surprised if there is 2nd EU Ref, but the ever shortening bookie odds (near evens today) is showing it could happen, anything could happen really, such is the mess. JC is the fav to become next PM, and is highly likely sometime in 2019, when he gets in let the choas really start, proper style.

It has lost about 3% of growth since then I believe. It did with the GFC/austerity. Not helped by brexit related weakness since and the possible calamity of a no deal.

To vote again on Brexit, it has to be known what Brexit is.

The remain side have been unhappy thus far but they don't riot or kick off about it. If remain got a second shot and won out, even by a clear majority unlike the first vote, I'd think the Brexit supporting side would loose it's collective mind and throw an absolute wobbler. Something to make the french stop and look even.
