1. Put the plan on the referendum

I suspect that if they put a very specific plan on the referendum, in essence opposite a "remain" choice, the remain would win by large margins. Because as soon as you specify some details like a hard Irish Border, any specific plan won't enjoy large support. Right now it appears that various Brexit supporters have different ideas on exactly what the means and what the details will be. And they all don't really agree. It's why May couldn't get a deal because no matter what she offered, some group or another wouldn't agree, even if they were relatively favorable to leaving the EU.
