No one's asking you to put it on a form but posts 5127 and 5128 contain some clues as to whether or not you're an EU citizen which is the citizenship in question. https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...postcount=5128

You've misread read my post - reasoned manner is my description. Thus he's calmly defended his position with his reasons and not gone off on one. We don't have to agree with him to understand that his manner is reasoned.

You can’t have a 3 way question on the referendum. It would have to be Binary, because you are effectively splitting the leave vote by having two leave options.

Right move on from the discussion from the European nationality angle or EU Citizenship, if people choose not to be so that is their right and no-one should be telling them otherwise - time to move on with this discussion and I am not asking, I am telling!!!

CF does not have any offensive Smilies for use. People need to stop being over sensitive and reporting posts that contain the dunce smiley. It's use is permitted.

Re: Brexit

It’s a bit of a flaw is it not?

I couldn’t repeatedly call another user an idiot, for example.

You’re an idiot, if you think that.

So many permutations possible with options of transferring votes to second preferred choice, ranking choices, which options to include, etc which make a people's vote hard to agree.

If leave were to win (against remain) I think it’d make most sense to have a further vote a few weeks later about what type of Brexit to aim for.

I think that wouldn't work due to voter fatigue. I suspect even a people's vote in January would get a far lower turnout than in 2016.

It’s the only way out of having six different views of what Brexit looks like.

Re: Brexit

My finger is poised on the ban button.

I suggest anyone who is over sensitive should find other topics to post in, and leave this one.

Three options with a single transferable vote would be stacked in favour of one option: TM's Deal.

As in:

REMAIN would transfer to TM's DEAL
TM's DEAL would transfer to REMAIN
NO DEAL would transfer to TM's DEAL or be a loner.

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.
