but the Brexit crash is the default.   that's the "No-deal Exit on 12 April".  even without a majority vote, that will happen if no other action is legislated by Parliament.

so that "No-deal Exit on 12 April", and every other option (but "Do Nothing" is not an option, "Do Nothing" is equivalent to "No-deal Exit on 12 April") should be put to a ranked ballot and decided in a Condorcet-compliant manner and if there
is a CW, then that would be the least-defeated option.
	but, really, this whole Brexit thing is enormously stupid, myopic, and harmful.  almost as bad as the Americans and Trumpism.
