Here are our MP's net votes against the eight options (the smaller the number, the more popular something is, or less unpopular at least):
Revoking Article 50 to avoid no deal - 109
Confirmatory referendum - 27
Malthouse Plan B - 283
Labour's Brexit plan - 70
Common Market 2.0 - 95
EFTA and EEA membership - 312
Customs union - 8
No-deal exit on 12 April - 240
That's not the same order as in the BBC article.
UPDATE, they removed the list from that article, try this instead.
I have ranked them in order from "Remain" (or Their best hope of somehow remaining) via the various actual Brexit options from "softest" to "hardest". This is subjective of course and feel free to disagree on rankings, maybe I'll reshuffle them.
There is no discernible pattern at all. In a polarised situation, both extremes would be a small minus and the ones in the middle a huge minus. In a conciliatory situation, the extremes would be huge minuses and the middle ones smaller minuses or even positive.
But nope, it's completely higgeldy-piggeldy.Why did the second-hardest Brexit get the smallest defeat of all options and the ones either side of it the largest?
