That's because when you give people a choice between two things, they can rarely make their mind up. However, if you give people too many choices, they also cannot make their mind up. However, many studies show that when you give people a choice of three things, then they can make their mind up. <br /><br />So, to get a decisive answer the ballot paper needs three possible choices: Remain, Leave, Hold another Referendum after two years (or some such alternative). That way, the vote would be more decisive.<br /><br />So, if the Government had thought about your four options they could have come up with a ballot paper that would produce a better result than we'll get on 23rd. All that is going to happen then is the option for more political argument for another few years, leading to even greater economic uncertainty. Oh and whichever side wins, the other side will also claim a victory of some kind. Graham Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408549484947076806noreply@blogger.com
