And if that is the thing the fewest people support, your objection to it being eliminated is what, exactly? 

That May's deal should be clearly marked as a 'remain' option, because that is what it is.

Now who is claiming the general public are too stupid to understand what they are voting for?

Whether you think May's deal is remain, or I think it is leave matters for how we vote as individuals. It is for each voter to decide what it means. So it needs to be labelled May's vote. Not leave. Not remain.

Nor does it split the vote, because the system merges the results until there is a clear winner. I happen to think most people who put May in first place would put leave in second. If that were true, Remain would get the 48% on both rounds on Steve's figures and leave would get the 52%. Talk of splitting votes is misunderstanding the system.
