I think they just ended up wanting to defeat May's deal and hoped she would step down if she lost, with a more hardline Brexiter replacing her.

I suspect that the Withdrawal Agreement could end up a lot more representative of the country as a whole than the more narrow ERG take on Brexit.

If only Theresa May had done this at the start, she wouldn't have put herself, business and the country through lots of unnecessary stress.

May's be trying for years. They've only had a few days.
