Maugham endorses MP's plan for new referendum with option to remain
Jo Maugham https://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham the lawyer specialised in "brexit" affairs has endorsed the Wilson and Kyle strategy (1, 2) for a new referendum with the option to remain in EU.
Maugham wrote, "The idea is simple. Remain-supporting MPs would hold their noses and vote through Theresa May’s deal if Leave-supporting MPs hold theirs in turn and put the deal back to the public. It would deliver on the promises made by a number of prominent Brexiters about a two-stage referendum. And it would enable MPs to return with something to offer to all of their constituents, Leave- and Remain-voting. And, of course, they would be free to campaign for their preferred outcome in that public vote." https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/this-proposal-for-breaking-the-brexit-deadlock-deserves-serious-consideration
