Imagine that you are one of many Conservative MPs who voted to remain in the EU. You are hoping against hope that the government can deliver a soft Brexit settlement that will do as little damage as possible. At this point, however, it does not appear that the government has the votes to get that done. Then what?
Your alternatives appear to be an election that could well put Corbyn in power, or a disastrous no deal Brexit engineered by Davis or Boris Johnson. Which choice is worse? It’s hard to say.
Well, if you ask me, you should be working across party lines for a second referendum.
