I really don't know what's going to happen! It comes down to Parliament in the end.
As I said before I think her deal with a customs union or some variant of EEA/EFTA will be what we leave with. I think a referendum is off the cards personally.

I’m genuinely curious what you’re basing that prediction on. The ERG simply won’t vote for that and Corbyn (whose support would be required) won’t even talk to her.
Whatever she comes back from Brussels with is only going to be the same deal with an infinitesimal improvement on the backstop clause - which will almost certainly still get voted down, unless the mood in the country and the economy had poisoned sufficiently by that point to persuade the rebel Tories and the DUP to get on board.
The chances of a No Deal exit have increased massively tonight.
