None of your logic appears to make any sense Peter Pan, but the remain "offer" appears to be two versions of remain - May's deal (or even worse permanent customs union) or remain.

How can you possibly square that with the referendum result, because unlike most in the Westminster bubble like to assume, people really are not that stupid.

If you feel that way, tinkerbell, then more power to you.

One thing is pretty clear; in the 3 years since the vote, we have moved precisely zero percent closer to delivering anything.

I am not trying to "square anything" with the referendum result, I think you are not getting what I am saying.

I am saying the 2016 referendum result was a road to nowhere (evidenced by the fact that in 3 years we have gone..........nowhere) and a new vote is needed, to deliver a road to.......somewhere.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Ah now I get you, you mean how would the votes be counted etc.

A choice would be made on what voting mechanism to utilize. You cannot expect majorities with 3 options or more, generally speaking.

So you either go first past the post - winner takes all, or some type of "instant run off" or "alternative vote" whereby voters rank the options in order of preference, 1, 2, 3 etc.

Votes are initially counted for each voter's first preference. If an option has more than half of the vote based on first preferences, that option carries. If not, then the option with the fewest votes is eliminated.

The voters who selected the eliminated option as a first preference would then have their votes added to the totals of their second preference, and so on.

The process continues until 1 option has a majority.

That method is used in various countries for elections, and is actually how members of congress are elected in the great state of Maine.

Not perfect but this is Brexit. It is not a binary choice of in or out, its more complicated than that.

If thats too complicated, then winner takes all is kinda simple eh (most votes wins).

However even someone pretty f***ing dumb, Jimenez, can rank options in order of preference. Even a complete raving f***ing imbecile, can do that, cant they?

Here is an example, where 1 is your first choice, and you find 5 the least desirable:

1 Having your nuts sanded down with 40 grit sandpaper
2 Listening to Janet Street-Porter sing jazz classics
3 Nuclear Holocaust
4 Brighton winning the champions league
5 Trump presidency

And so on...

As I said, it aint perfect, but Brexit is a bit more complicated than in or out, as you may have noticed in the last 3 years.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
