Here, in the real world, we are looking at a vote in Parliament shortly that will result in the withdrawal agreement being abandoned, which will simply mean a 'no-deal' Brexit.

No constitutional crisis. Just a sizeable number of politicians scratching their heads and asking themselves what was so bad about the withdrawal agreement after all.
The PM was quite clear last time she said that there would not be another election.
I'm coming round to the idea that no-deal would be politically unacceptable so would be ruled out by Parliament. I think that Theresa May will keep on pushing for a vote until she gets the right result.

Well, some of us won't get fooled again.
I fear you're being fooled because the analysis suggests we'll be worse off but you ignore it time and time again as it doesn't fit into your viewpoint.
If there was overwhelming evidence that leaving the EU would make us better off then I and many others would be banging the drum for it. There isn't and I'm not.
Don't confuse the analysis you read now with poll night predictions and Cameron's remain literature. Entirely different things.
