We desperately need an answer to Brexit.
It can't be "just leave", because that solves nothing.
It can't be "just stay", much as I'd love it, because that's too hard a sell.
So a second referendum looks like the only way out. But every option must be *defined* and *actionable*

In other words, whatever the 2nd referendum decides, the decision should be clear and unarguable. A specific recipe for a particular outcome, not just "cook something".
But that also means that the defined Leave outcome must be possible. It can't be a unicorn version of Brexit.
Best way to do that? Go back to the EU's cascade of possible post-Brexit relationships and pick one.
(My preference would be Norway, of course, if we have to leave.)

This is the cascade I mean. Every one of the items other than "no deal" is a defined and realisable outcome.
The WA+PD isn't because it leaves the "what *is* Brexit?" question open again. And that was the problem last time!
