Obviously but my point is Prime Ministers are reluctant to give up power easily.
May = Forced Out
Cameron = Kind of had to go
Brown = Lost election
Blair = The writing was on the wall
Mayor = Lost election
Thatcher = Forced out
It would be very unlikely a Prime Minister would embrace a path that would detonate their own leadership so soon after winning it. Especially someone like Boris whose wanted the job forever.
And that would all be to try and leave with No Deal which they could well be stopped by their own party or Parliament anyway.
I happened to listen to a good podcast today which covered this and explained just why a PM trying to hunker down and await no deal would be unlikely to do it:
