My prediction for Brexit:

We are heading for either something like May's deal or a no-deal. The opposition forces in Parliament don't have enough MPs and the Tory 'rebel remainers' never actually do any rebelling. May is winding the clock down to the deadline so that MPs will be left with a choice between her deal and no deal. Labour doesn't like her deal but will be blackmailed into abstaining because they can't in good conscience allow for a no-deal Brexit.

So we will end up with a crappy Brexit deal that nobody will be happy with. After that, I am predicting an ugly civil war in both major parties with the Tory right moving to depose May and the Labour right blaming Corbyn for a Brexit he couldn't have stopped and perhaps (if they have the balls) trying to form the oft-mooted breakaway party.

I want none of this to happen but it's all plausible.

As a serious question what would a good Brexit deal look like?

@monte3 Like a unicorn LOL.

That is kind of a serious answer. IMO there is no Brexit deal that we could possibly get which would retain the benefits of staying in the EU without huge downsides. Unfortunately, a lot of Brexit voters believe in the unicorn and will be angry if (when) they don't get one.

@Burnley123 Yeah, if there was a plausible way to have all the benefits and none of the consequences, the UK would have done it a long time ago.
