A second Brexit referendum was once a pipe dream. Now some wonder if it’s the only way out of the chaos.

LONDON — Not long ago, staging a second Brexit referendum was a fringe idea — a pipe dream of a handful of “remoaners” who had voted to remain in the European Union, cheered on by unpopular figures from yesteryear, such as former prime minister Tony Blair.

But the once barely imaginable is now becoming remotely possible.

The British may be headed toward one of history’s greatest do-overs — another vote to ask do they really, really want to leave the E.U. After all they know now about breaking up being hard to do.

For crazy, chaotic Brexit, nothing would be more crazy and chaotic than another vote.

But after two years of bickering, confusion and uncivil war over what Brexit should look like, and as it has become clear that the version approved by the E.U. and May’s cabinet has little chance of passing Parliament, more and more Brits are wondering whether a second, “people’s vote” might be the only thing to break the impasse.
