Splitting the leave vote - handy.
Would you have, "here's three options - pick your top two. If no option has over 50% on first count, second choice is totted up too?"
I think they should have "no deal" vs "Remain", but on the ballot paper, no deal should be written "Crash out".

Crash out/get fucked Northern Ireland to be even more accurate ;)

That's almost Single Transferable Vote. After the first round, ballots whose first choice lost would be split between the remaining options according to their second choice.
Students union use this for electing officers.

If they can't come up with a decent solution they should take it back to the people. Choice of hard brexit, May's deal or cancel the whole thing. The politicians have made it very clear they think May's deal is crap and a hard brexit is terrible.
Personally if that happened and hard brexit or May's deal won it wouldn't be my choice and I'd be unhappy with the result, but at least there would be clarity around what 'the will of the people' is so I'd have to accept it.
