At what stage will Theresa May step down is another intriguing question?[COLOR="Silver"]
Theresa May is not going to step down, and doesn't have to. She's safe for at least a year, having survived a Conservative Party challenge.

The votes she has announced in the Commons is a clever move. It sets out starkly what the choices are and forces MPs to make a choice. There are no other choices and the EU will not negotiate a different deal.

Neither a second referendum nor a General Election will change anything regarding Brexit - unless the Conservatives are swept in with a big majority. Not impossible, I suppose, given the 11-point lead the Conservatives have in the latest YouGov poll, but then again, we've said that before. What is different this time though is that Corbyn's ratings have crashed, so I don't see him doing a superman act against all the odds this time.
