Two ministers and a SPAD by 10am, not bad going. I wonder who's going to go around 10:30 to overshadow May's address of Commons.

Just make it a preference vote for chrissakes. This isn't difficult.

Why would a referendum with more than two options work any differently to a referendum with two?

Is this being streamed anywhere (not the Sky poo poo, the press conference).

If they made it straight up 3 choices, "norway deal" and "remain" would spoil each other and hard brexit would be all but guaranteed

Because remainers would all vote for the remain option while the brexit vote would be split between deal and no deal.

Plus most likely you'd get 34% of the people who bothered voting deciding what would happen.

You could game such a referendum if you are dishonest by having one "no" alternative and several different "yes" alternatives. If "no" gets 20% and each of the other alternatives have less - proclaim "no" won because it got the most votes.

Like they were sort of getting at, if it's a straight up choice between three options and none of them get a majority of the vote, that's not a very strong mandate for any one option; and it would lead to strategic voting because people would have to pick between Deal and Remain.

You could make it two-stage so that the option with the least votes is eliminated in the first stage, or make it a preference/ranked vote where people get to rank the options, so a remainer could put down Remain 1, Deal 2 and No Deal 3, while a Brexiteer could just put in No Deal 1 and leave it there.

But this is all far too complex to comprehend for journos and politicians who are used to FPTP, I mean we saw how the AV referendum went.
