Or Brexit is toast. It's not as if there is anyone with an actual plan that could get elected as leader/PM and deliver a Brexit for everyone, is there?
Granted there are a few who might be prepared to actually sail the good ship Britannia over the edge, but I'm not sure the part of the parliament will let that happen. Isn't May still the best shot at leaving EU membership, the least bad option?
