Yes, I agree, and their voters will desert them in droves. Which party will benefit most? Well, the Brexit Party and Liberal Democrats should do well out of it, and the Conservatives, under Boris Johnson, may be (to the surprise of some), the choice of many.
If Boris does well in getting an EU deal, or alternatively in getting us out without a deal, a grateful electorate will reward him, and the Brexit Party will be doomed.

Wanting a 'no deal' Brexit is not simply a right wing aspiration as you imply. A lot of Labour voters want this as well.

Are Brexit supporting Labour voters in Labour strongholds part of a right wing clique, then?

It won't be 'proved illegal' as you put it. Ever heard of the Bill of Rights?
