Although I accept everyone is at it.

Well it isn't.
It has to be presented as the last resort. Which necessitates baby steps involving one or more extensions. If they admitted today that the intention was to run EU elections there'd, rightly, be fury around it because of the time between now and then.
There are important milestones. Passing March 29th in the EU being the first. The EU elections being another. The results of the European election will be hard to ignore if, for example, UKIP have a resounding win. You'll no doubt have the FBPE brigade trying to treat a Lib Dem vote as a remain vote. It would be the biggest test of public opinion since 2017. Emerge from that unscathed and there's arguably a "legitimate" platform to explore other options. There's no point in our politicians trying to run before they can walk, or to give the game away. One step at a time.
