Whoa. Seriously? Only a small % of MPs support no deal. It’s way too disruptive on even the most basic day-to-day level. I can’t see no deal being accepted by parliament.

Therefore....the problem is there isn’t much time to sort anything else out. Article 50 won’t be rescinded but will have to be delayed. The only way the EU will agree to extend it is for an election or a referendum and it’s clear an election won’t happen right now.

Therefore IMO it’ll break down at the last minute and the only way out will be for an exasperated May to extend article 50 with the promise of a referendum.

I’m fuming that both sides couldn’t compromise. An EFTA style arrangement would mean we have close ties and can strike independent trade deals. We’d be out of the EU.

Anything else is bluster. Remainers should have worked harder to pursue a more mutually agreeable compromise; leavers should have acknowledged the narrow margin of victory and the need to engage and compromise and that their vision of the U.K. in the 1950s is a warped fantasy.

Bunch of idiots.
