4. There's no majority for any single course of action, among voters or MPs

which is the big problem. May's deal will get voted down both by hardline leavers who don't like the 'backstop' arrangement designed to prevent a hard customs border with Ireland, and by remainers, and the Labour leadership who have said they will exit the EU, but go for a customs union and single market deal which will involve some form of free movement of labour.

No-one can decide if a new referendum would help; if there was one, should it have just 2 options (in which case, which 2), or 3, with some form of 2nd preference voting.

It's a mess.
