Introduce Ranked Choice Voting to parliament to break Brexit voting deadlocks

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

With no clear consensus among MPs, we are left with a futile series of indicative votes that does nothing to resolve the deadlock and just creates further delay and uncertainty. Ranked Choice Voting will address this situation while being fair to all sides.
Rank Choice Voting has been used in various countries including Ireland for some time to address this issue. It will create consensus based on secondary or tertiary preferences. It is described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked_voting

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what you'd like to use ranked choice voting for.

You could start a new petition setting out the options you would like the House of Commons to consider.
