32% - Leave with Mays deal

Would the Remainers say they've won?
I think in that scenario more work would need to be done. We’re in this mess because the electorate were presented a binary choice.

The issue of leaving the EU is far too complex to be put into a binary or choice of three. In my opinion how to leave and what to prioritise merits a vote or multiple votes.

What should we prioritise? Free movement? A trade deal with the EU? Other trade deals unknown? Reducing our net contribution to the EU? Fish?

If one of those things is far more important than the rest the Theresa May deal isn’t awful. (Note I did say “if”).
