I don't think there's a poll which direction we'd like to go given the current Brexit stalemate.

I'm not interested in discussing if May is the right person, simply interested how those on PH feel given nearly two years of talks.

It would be interesting however to also discuss why you voted the way you have yes

It could be argued that even option 1 "stay as we are in the EU" is not a valid option, as it has 0% chance of happening.

The reasoning being is that the EU is not going to stay the same as it is now, and is continually striving to evolve into the United States of Europe.

This is one of the many reasons why the Brexit supporters voted out.

I vote that people who push for a 'People's Vote' should be sent to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Staying as was back in June 2016, is not a viable/realistic option.

Post up what the terms of our 'new' relationship will be with the EU should there be a 2nd referendum with a Remain result, and you'd get a more balanced result.

'People's vote'! laugh

Shouldn't there be a bus with a pack of lies painted down the side of it for this vote?

I sense someone is scared at the prospect of the status quo being an option.

I've changed the first to 'stay as close as we are currently in the EU' if that helps?

It's not an option:

“Emanuel Macron, the new French President, spoke about an open door.

I agree,” Mr Verhofstadt said. “But like Alice in Wonderland not all the doors are the same. It will be a brand new door, with a new Europe, a Europe without rebates, without complexity, with real powers and with unity. That is the door towards Europe.”

Translate the above to what the 'new' terms will be, and it's a landslide for Leave in a 2nd referendum.

Bring it on biglaugh

Boom!

I love the way you have an option for those that are disinterested. Very clever.

They can now reaffirm their disinterest.

Only if they can be bothered to read the thread so that figure may well be incorrect wobble

Interesting that the questions you have chosen will split the leave vote resulting in a remain victory. I wonder if the real 'peoples vote' will try the same trick?

Ah, I see: those in favour of remain get a single question to coalesce around, those who voted out get split between 2 options. Cunning...

Edited to add: I managed to post at the same time as Lima Delta. And I'm with 98dd above: people who stick "The People's..." in front of causes annoy me, along with "[insert name]'s Army" types. They may possibly annoy beyond me beyond reason.

I looked for "I'm prepared to see the economy go off a cliff in the short to medium term with no idea how or when it will recover because I don't have a crystal ball but the Daily Mail told me it will be all milk and honey, but yeah, blue passports" option but I couldn't find it.
