The format of the votes hasn't been specified yet. I'm hoping that the urgent need for clarity/compromise results in something like STV or some other sensible system. I think Letwin is in charge of the process and he seemed relatively reasonable to me - I mean he put this amendment forward after all.
Edit: In other words it's nonsensical to propose this amendment and then not choose a voting system that ensures a majority for one option.
Sir Vince Cable, the Lib Dem leader, asks Bercow if he will set up a committee to ensure that the indicative votes process runs smoothly on Wednesday.
Bercow says Oliver Letwin will take charge of the process, and he says he is sure Letwin will want to ensure it runs properly.

Isn’t this also part of the problem witb indicative votes and their sequencing. If your preferred option has been voted on and approved there is not much incentive to vote for something else.
