[EM] Approval style voting could be used in Brexit Vote in Parliament?

As can been seen from the results below, no option won a majority of
votes.  There is planned to be a second round consisting of rank voting
(probably counted using IRV) of the "least defeated" options on Monday,
but whether this occurs depends on the vote on Friday on the current EU
deal.

I have also included two links that show graphical breakdowns of how
each group/party voted, which obviously includes voting against party
lines.  The second link shows all of the vote breakdowns but the first
link is probably clearer on selected results.
