You think a referendum with three options is a viable idea? Wow!

I don't suppose it will happen but this has been discussed a number of times.

One suggestion has been to have a two stage referendum like, for example, the election to the French presidency. Three options would appear on the ballot paper, two variations on Leave (Chequers and No Deal/Canada Deal say) and one Remain.

A second ballot, shortly afterwards, would be a run-off between the two more popular options. Two points about the second ballot. It would have to include a Leave option, but might not include a Remain one. And according to those who promote it it could potentially help, in a small way, reunite the country - if the final choice was between (say) No Deal and Chequers then Remain voters would naturally campaign heavily for the Leave option most to their taste.

Corbyn is a 'leaver' by incliination. Im sure the leader of the opposition does understand.

Jeremy Corbyn is more Leave than most of the Tories. He is obeying the Kremlin.

I don't think you understand Politics, or English much either.

'sticking his nose in'?

What a strange turn of phrase to choose. This is one of the most important political decisions in a generation, and you think that the leader of HM opposition commenting on it, constitutes 'sticking his nose in'?

FWIW, speaking as a labour voter historically, Corbyn's nose ought to have been stuck in a hell of a lot more over the last three years. His choice to sit in the background and watch things play out, is one of the reasons the whole thing is a shambles.

As pointed out, we would have all the rules, pay into it, but no say in it. We would still be worse off than now.


Who said Project Fear? The government have appointed a Food Supplies Minister. Yes, really.

15-25% of EU rules, not 'all'.

Pay some but less of what we pay now.

We'd have 'Say' and influence, but no vote ( or veto ).


Sounds an ideal compromise.

If we have to Leave, then the Norway option is the least of the evils, I'll grant you that.

Well, yes, that's a sensible suggestion, if we absolutely can't avoid a second referendum (although actually we've had a second referendum; the first was in 1975 - the third one should be in forty years time too). I'm sure though that all the remainers delighted by the option of a referendum with three options will be seeing it as a way to split the leave vote so that Westminster and Whitehall can weasel their way to getting a 'right' decision.

Come up with a sensible deal that works for the EU and our parliamentary representatives and we won't need another vote.

Until pretty recently I've been lukewarm on the idea, but its looking like the Tories have completely failed the country. Appointing a Minister for Food Supplies just shows how pathetic the situation has become

P.S - All British nationals in Europe should be allowed to vote and EU nationals that have resided here for >15 years.

My international friends have picked up on the Minister For Food Supplies. One asked if Monty Python are running Britain.
