Wrong. It's the Withdrawal Agreement that is dead. You won't be hearing much about that now, or the dreaded backstop. We can be confident of leaving now on 31 October.

He's the favourite so far, by a big margin.

No - we can't. Parliament has clearly legislated in the past to avoid No Deal. It can, and will, do so again. Up to and including a vote of no confidence in the Government when the time is right, if required.
The dynamics against Theresa May will work against Johnson, Gove, Hunt or anyone else. Only a General Election can change this.
Leaving on 31 October is the new leaving on 31 March.

The people want a General Election!

You are wrong again. Theresa May lost the confidence of the ERG and DUP. Boris can get it back.
Anyway, if he can get confirmation that Article 24 of GATT can apply with an agreement between the UK and EU on the objectives to finalise a trade deal, suddenly 'no deal' is very attractive. Protection will provide peace of mind on our trading arrangements in the meantime, which will satisfy the renegade Conservatives, who will be chastened by the result of the EU elections.

You are wrong. The problem isn't Theresa May - it's the policy. The ideologues in the ERG an DUP will continue to push for no deal, Parliament will continue to oppose.

No, no, no! Employing the GATT legislation to enable the protection period is exactly what ERG members want, and the DUP will come on board without the backstop being part of the arrangement. All is good. At last.

Even if there were an objection raised by another country, it would take 2 years at least to go through the legal process, by when we should have a trade agreement.

You mean people like;
House of Commons Researchers - https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk...-24-explained/
Chap who worked 18 years for the WTO - https://tradebetablog.wordpress.com/...interim-deals/
Columnist for Bloomberg and former WSJ editor - https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/ar...rade-deal-myth
Lecturer in International Law and a former Australian Trade Negoiator - https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-br...-idUKKCN1PH24V
Professors in International Law and Kings College and Cambridge - https://ukandeu.ac.uk/clean-brexit-s...-doesnt-exist/
Even if we do trade with the EU under Article XXIV, that only covers goods and not services.
If we just winged it, relying on the slowness of the WTO to enforce, then we are breaking a global trade agreement at a time when we are supposed to be making deals with all of these countries. Not a good look to be seen breaking deals while trying to broker new ones. Doesn't make you look very trustworthy...

It only applies if agreement is reached to continue whilst negotiations go ahead.
What on earth do people thing May's WA was trying to do, of not just this?

Well, May didn’t have the gumption to follow up on her threats. Any new PM would be wise to learn from that or suffer the same fate.
Parliament doesn’t want a no deal, that has been proven. What has also been proven is that Parliament is impotent.
Parliament doesn’t get to decide, it won against May as she was spineless. But the current date is 31/10. Boris or whoever it is, has to show the spine the last PM didn’t and make a statement that is clear. That unless an acceptable deal can be achieved by the 31st we will leave with no deal. No if’s no but’s, no more extensions. Regardless of what Parliament wants.
If you want you PM tenure to be remembered, be remembered as the PM that fought against a Parliament that tried to subvert the will of the people and took us out of the EU and delivered on thevReferendum.
Be remembered for something, not like May, she will be remembered for abject failure.

May's withdrawal agreement was only transitional in nature. It was a stopgap.
The deal we need to negotiate, from outside the EU, is a trade agreement.

No it didn’t,
There was an indicative vote, that’s all. No legislation whatsoever.
And May was too spineless to ignore it. Any future PM would be wise to learn from that.

An absolute fantasy. If it was that easy why haven’t we done it? Theresa would still be PM with her feet up and polling numbers in the 40s.

Semantics. The extension in itself was legislation.
