It's very unlikely there is a Parliamentary mandate for Theresa May's deal. When staring down the barrel, and knowing we haven't adequately prepared for the consequences of No Deal, the can will be kicked down the road.
The alternative is to take the blame for lower GDP, food shortages, queues at ports and all the effects of the lack of contingency planning in the last two years.

Exactly. Politicians, like voters, do have the right to change their minds though. We saw that with Boris Johnson when he signed up to Chequers then had a second vote on Chequers by resigning.
