In the meantime, there will be a no confidence vote in the parliament and in all likelihood, BJ will be given his marching orders. As stated before, BJ will hang around long enough to set the General Election after the 31st October, which for all intent purposes, the UK will be officially out of the EU with a no deal. This will take care of the 2016 referendum being implemented and the British democracy remains intact.
Now here is the kicker! What if the EU gives the UK a grace period unilaterally that they can come back into the EU as if nothing changed, and with the new General election to be held soon after October 31st, some of the running parties could promise to keep the UK in the EU during the grace period the EU might offer. Within a short time, we will be back to square one as if the UK never left the EU. I know it all sounds a fantasy, but I wouldn’t put it past the EU and Jeremy Corbyn to cook up something like this. Totally legal and totally democratic.
there are several angles here. once bojo loses the confidence vote the likely hood of him being replaced by either corby, clark or even harman will do the job. as soon as they are confirmed the first thing they will do is delay brexit by 12 months foloowed by an election. if bojo wins again theis country deserves bojo.
there is another way round out. the speaker has said he will be creative as to what is allowed. if the pm has lost the confidence vote, it would also be possible that parliament itself takes over and delays brexit. the chance of bojo hanging on to declare an election after 31 is not a possibility unless an alternative leader is not found and/or parliament cannot decide to extend. highly unlikely becasue parliament has already voted to block no-deal and if anythig their numbers will go up.
your sugestion is not a possibility becasue corbyn has already declared that even if he wins the elction and strikes a deal with the eu, the deal will be put to the people to vote. remain without a vote is not a possibility. after all we are not barbarians, we are democrats and respect the people choice especially whenthe choice is made out of knowledge rather than fear and ignorance.
