Call it a runoff referendum.
- mikepurvis 8y agoPeople voting in such a referendum should still have the option to say "given these two leave options (and not, say, the fantasy one presented by Boris Johnson), I've realised they both suck and I'd prefer to just remain after all." Having it as a ranked ballot with runoff allows the further refinement of distinguishing between options like: - I'd like a soft Brexit, and if I can't have that, I'd prefer a hard Brexit over remaining. - I'd really like to remain, but if I can't have that I'd rather a soft Brexit. - I'd really like to remain, and I have no second choice.
