Preferably, I'd just revoke article 50, but that's not very democratic, so I'd hold another referendum, with more in depth awnsers. Basically, I'd have the "Leave/Remain" option, then I'd have "in the event the Leave option is chosen, which type of exit should the UK persue"

I would leave with the withdrawal agreement.

It avoids no deal, stops the political turmoil (for now), and avoids a new referendum which I think would lead to a lot of bitterness among leave voters (and may well produce the same result as before).

But that means 3 months more Delay.
The Public do not like more delay

Not if they vote and agree to it in the middle of October? A group of Labour MPs including Stephen Kinnock suggested bringing the Withdrawal agreement back to parliament.

Between 2.

I'd hold new referendum with remain an option.

Or

I'd vote to revoke article 50.

Rory Stewart wants that too.

If it did, I'd be content if it was supported now.
Which I've said the last 2 times it has been voted on.

I think it's worth another attempt.
This PM dare not though, the ERG would be up in arms.
It's at least a deal of sorts however, which if supported now, would erase the need to ask for a further delay.

Brexit champions have had 3 years to get a deal and failed miserably. The withdrawal agreement from May isn't good, but is now being resurrected to get out rather than the best interests of the country.

Personally, I'd revoke A50 and say get a deal together that can pass and then we'll put it to the public; deal or remain. There are too many terrorists desperate to force us out on a disastrous no deal, to leave it hanging in limbo like this.

What I think should realistically happen, is that we still get a deal together and it has to go back to the public regardless. The illegal campaign and lies of the leave campaign should guarantee that the public get a final say.

The referendum wasn't given to Moses on top of mount sinai, it was then, and has always been advisory.

Keep it simple.
Have an election, all sides show their true colours as to leave or remain.
Make it a promise to leave the Irish border as it is and then see if the EU would really put the borders back up.
No easy answer, but it needs sorting once and for all.

Hold a new referendum

with the two options being

Remain or Leave with no deal, so everyone is clear what is happening once the result is confirmed


Someone suggested if they do have a GE, there could be a second referendum ballot paper so people can vote the parties on their policies (outside of Brexit) and vote on Brexit at the same time, seems a great idea to me.

things are delayed all the time that prove more complex than originally thought. Look at the high speed train link as the most obvious example, or the channel tunnel. There are loads of examples. We should not leave until we have an outcome that gets through parliament via democratic means

No deal. Get us out. I've had enough.

Use money saved in "divorce bill" to put back into our economy that will "be suffering" for a while after [apparently...]

Democracy is dead, people are "sick of experts" and have proven that they're susceptible to rabbling patriotism to the extent that they will willingly, and repeatedly, vote for self destruction.

Revoke article 50 without a second thought.

There will be no extra money. Any money "saved" will be lost due to the lack of trade deals.

The point of the poll is to ask what you want parliament to do.

I should have worded the question in the first post, 'What do you want to happen with Brexit'.

Leave with the deal. If another Referendum happens then we'll just end up going back and forth and leaving without a deal is disastrous. Leaving with a deal is the only option that will appease both sides. A compromise from both sides is the only way this ordeal can end.

This is probably right really. Parliament should have accepted the deal that May got and sorted the rest out later. Leaving at all is going to be damaging economically; but not in a way immediately noticeable in people's day to day lives like a No Deal crash out is likely to be.
