We're looking down the barrel of the gun now on Brexit as Boris Johnson tears up democratic process to deliver a single outcome that wasn't voted for during the 2016 Referendum.
It's looking more and more likely that the cold severance of our ties to the EU will take place on 31 October and a General Election will shortly follow.
This poll is based on looking beyond that date, a measuring yard that has become over focused as though it brought Brexit to an end. What would instead happen is Johnson would enter a General Election having:
-Decimated the majority of his Parliamentary support
-His basis of supporting No Deal is that it's freeing to the nation which rests a lot on the economic impact turning out to be largely non-existent.
-The delivery of a fast trade deal with the US that Donald Trump has no power to agree
-The destruction of the Good Friday agreement with Ireland
-The surge in pro-independence movements in Scotland
Clearly a basis of his is that delivering Brexit would wipe out support of the Brexit Party and life the Tories to victory... except would it? This is the illusion of Brexit. The Brexit Party would have little reason to step aside for Johnson as he will have already delivered their central concern - however, the spectre of a scenario developing where they feel the need to defend against attempts to rejoin the EU or to protect us from what they view as an unfavourable trade agreement with them will cast a large shadow.
This is pushed further by exactly that last point, we still need a trade agreement at some point and the likely basis of those terms will be... what's already been discussed.
Johnson would lead any campaign with his transparent short term spending boosts and claiming himself as the man who delivered Brexit but his opposition would lead in hard that he and his government collapsed democracy in one of the most important moments of British politics and that as such he was a threat to the thing many Leave voters had chosen, a threat to the unity of the United Kingdom and, if No Deal results in economic damage, a threat to the UK itself.
As far as you see things turning out at the end of November, which British party (coalitions aside) do you think would perform best in a November General Election post-No Deal?
