  • He's doing it a bit wrong, but Rory Stewart just suggested putting the deal to a Citizen Assembly.

    "Stewart said he would take any proposed deal to a citizens’ assembly.

    He said it would be a “jury of 500 ordinary people, we would go out to them and they would sit and take evidence in public, sitting seven days a week, and they would talk about the detailed issues of Brexit, hearing from the experts and … they would make the recommendations back to parliament”.

    He pointed out that a similar process was used to find a solution to the issue of abortion in Ireland. “Look how well it worked in Ireland. I think it would work here too."
