Labour clearly have not backed a referendum and I doubt the Liberal Democrats, TIG or the SNP will suffer amongst their own electorates for pushing for one.
As for the electoral consequences well that's now very much going to depend on what happens next. If No Deal is more painful than is being assumed I think a lot of voters will suddenly 'forget' they supported it and blame the current Government, not the opposition.
Personally I think the ERG are handing the keys to No 10 over to Corbyn at a time of big economic disruption.
