The Conservative Membership are only really important in a leadership election at which point May would already be out.

I don't understand why the common rulebook, regulatory alignment, is such a big deal anyway. UK businesses would mostly keep to EU regulation since the EU is, by far, the biggest single regulatory block we export too and given it's geographic proximity would remain so. Even if we reverted to WTO this would likely be the case. Other visions of Brexit had regulatory alignment as a prerequisite for any trade deal.

If the country is going to get obsessed over regulation of goods then any trade deal would be a pain since that's a key element.
