 But we are still calling it BREXIT, right? - Bromptonaut
>> I remember on those leaflets there was something in line of "govt belives that staying
>> in EU is best option" - which is not fact but subjective opinion.

The leaflet is here tinyurl.com/yaegxjw8 . It set out the government's firm belief why remaining in was the right decision and supported that with a number of factual or fact based assertions.

Two and a half years after its publication and two years after the referendum it seem most of those statements have been proved right for example:

If the UK voted to leave the EU, the resulting economic shock would put pressure on the value of the pound, which would risk higher prices of some household goods and damage living standards.

Prety much what happened.

The Government judges it could result in 10 years or more of uncertainty as the UK unpicks our relationship with the EU and renegotiates new arrangements with the EU and over 50 other countries around the world. Some argue that we could strike a good deal quickly with the EU because they want to keep access to our market. But the Government’s judgement is that it would be much harder than that – less than 8% of EU exports come to the UK while 44% of UK
exports go to the EU.

Years of uncertainty?


>> Funny how the demand for 2nd referendum panned out. First they wanted to have 2
>> options - [1] accept the deal [2] stay in EU.
>>
>> Now after some surveys reported that even more support towards leaving, now they want 3
>> options [1] accept half-in/half out deal [2] leave with no deal [3] remain in EU.
>>
>> If those are indeed options, then leave votes are likely to be split between [1]
>> & [2] thus giving [3] is highly probably win.

I don't think there's any relationship between what some surveys report and Justine Greeninig's suggested 3-way choice. A rehash of original referendum is just that. Giving the public a meaningful choice between soft brexit, hard brexit or let's call the whole thing off is reasonable.
