Yes, obviously the hypothetical Government that wanted to remain would have to legislate back into line at some point, but arguably the Withdrawal Act isn't the cliff edge some think it is.
As it'd be the action of a Government that had the confidence of Parliament it'd be a stretch to call it undemocratic.
