Petition Hold simultaneous referenda to confirm EU exit and express a desired direction
Parliament needs a true mandate to end the deadlock by asking the people if we should continue with brexit and, if so, how.
This should be done through two simultaneous referenda
1) continue leaving the EU or revoke Article 50;
2) choice of viable type of exit if continue leaving is confirmed
More details
This dual referendum format ensures that the leave vote is not unfairly split against remain and gives remain voters a say in the type of exit we should pursue if the decision to leave is maintained.
The leave options should include only viable courses available at this time: leave with the withdrawal agreement followed by each of free trade area negotiations, customs union or single market membership or any other viable option which becomes available.
