That's why there wouldn't be three options on the paper.
The above might be a convincing argument to TM for there to be three options.

What two options would you have?
a) TM's deal and no-deal
b) TM's deal and remain
c) No deal and remain

Ultimately, this evidences that a people's vote is not a straightforward solution to the chaos in the Commons. Devising it and then gaining consensus from the Commons will prove quite difficult as different questions and voting structures will lead to different outcomes.
