This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Hold second referendum about Brexit in a FAIR way to bring nation back together
Rejected on
Hold a referendum with the following 3 questions
1. Leave EU without a deal and fall back to WTO terms
2. Leave EU on deal negotiated by Theresa May
3. Remain in EU
Any option needs at least 50% to win.
If not achieved first time hold a follow up referendum with strongest 2 options only
I am aware that 3 questions might split up the former 52% leave supporters and might give remainers an advantage. That’s why the condition that any single option needs at least 50% to win is crucial.
If the result was for example 35% for no deal, 17% for May’s deal (the former 52%) and 48% for remain a follow up referendum would be held with the strongest 2 options only.
This is a FAIR compromise out of the current impasse and will leave us with an option that can be implemented immediately
