If I was a Brexiter, I would want an election as my Parliamentary majority could only grow as the Brexit Party would be neutralised and Corbyn is still in charge of Labour.
I said 'moaning remainers' to separate those who are trying to overturn the referendum result from those remainers who accept the decision of the electorate.

A General Election now could make things a lot worse until the Conservatives elect a new Leader and they get their feet under the table, so that's not going to happen in the short term. Additionally, they will probably wish to wait until Brexit can be shown to have been a success, to finally put Project Fear to bed.

The Brexit Party will hit the Tories harder than Labour, enough to take away their ability to govern. There would be a probable Labour/Lib-Dem coalition but after the 2010 debacle, this may not play out.

So, the Tory MPs will look at the looming disaster and do what they all do, put their interests first. Sod the country. The Tory party and it's continued existence will be the only game in town. So, they will get behind a No Deal candidate because, if they do not, they are toast at the next GE. May has seen to this ..
You can keep believing that, if that's what you want to do, but the fact of the matter is that a great number of people do not want to be in the EU. The Conservatives needed to lance the boil, although it didn't go the way they thought it would.

Brexit will be good for Britain, as you will see in the years ahead.
