Re: Brexit

She might do.

As I said earlier the fact she is immune for a year from a Conservative vote of no confidence means that the ERG and allies do not have an easy way of taking control and forcing no deal. For Brexiters the risk of a 'softer' Brexit or no Brexit is now higher should her deal fail than it was before the letters went in. For ages the ERG held that card over her head as leverage but now that leverage is gone and May herself knows that Brexit is probably the last, and only, thing she'll do as PM in the short time she has remaining.

Whose going to stop her if she choses anything but no deal?

Parliament? They want a softer Brexit than she does.
The Cabinet? See above, few no dealers in her cabinet.
ERG? Took their chance, missed.
Tory rebels brining down their own government? Maybe, but do they get a form a no deal Government with Parliament being so Remainy?
