No chance of it going through.
There may be another referendum. That vote will most likely be No Brexit

@Nyloncapes That is what the Opposition does. Play Politics. Jump on every opportunity to stick it up the incumbents

@Nyloncapes there would be no referendum after that. A second win for leave would be pretty substantial and I think any politician who still supports remaining after that would be very reckless and unpopular.
It isn’t a ‘we lost so we want another one’ thing, it is about ensuring that parliament does what the people actually want. There is no majority in Parliament for no deal, May’s deal or remain now, and a referendum takes place to resolve this. And it’s the only way to really resolve this, because trying to move forward on any of them without a referendum would be voted down in parliament because none have a majority.
I don’t doubt that brexiters would call for a 3rd referendum if a 2nd one returned remain, but it would be nonsense because then we would have a clear path to take.

Included in this is that no deal doesn’t seem like it’s going to be possible without a 2nd referendum with the amendments going through so soon we could be on the same side @Nyloncapes

No chance it's going through. ERG and other parties will vote against, bar maybe a handful of lab MPs.
What happens after?
I like political analysis and predicting stuff but on this I have no freakin clue.

@Burnley123 I’m finally allowing myself to be optimistic that a second referendum is inevitable. Even regardless of what I want, I can’t see any other way that parliament can move forward anymore

@AndrewtheAlu I really don't know. I hope labour calls for an election, doesn't get one and then pushes for a ref.
