Tbh, it's not that hard. There's already a precedence on who can vote. British nationals home or abroad of 18 years or older. Future trade deals are off the table until we leave. EU can't negotiate anything till we're out, hence the WA. So putting them on a referendum, makes no sense. The parliament wasted a bunch of time on the Political Declaration which isn't anything more than an indication for future negotiations but not binding on the outcome.true... though I'm not sure the people can agree on anything anyway and even agreeing the wording of a vote would be a minefield
You could say we have voted to leave once therefore any second referendum is how we leave (mays deal or no deal)
you could say we want to have a re-run of leave and remain (but as we have seen what does leave actually entail)
or do you go multi option - and then how many options (hard brexit, mays deal, remain) or do you open it up to future trade as well (hard brexit, single market, customs union, remain as we are, join euro and shengen)
and if you do go multi option is it single vote - ranking preference, ticking all acceptable.
Who is eligable to vote (what age, can EU nationals vote, how about brits abroad)... would it be the same as before or not
honestly I think you have a year of legal challenges to even agree a question
The parliament have 3 options at this stage: No-Deal, WA or Revocation. Put those 3 options to the people with indicatives votes. Only instead of requiring a majority, the option with the most votes wins. It's the outcome most people could accept basically.
