However, it would be a failure again and a general election should be called anyway, followed by a referendum on no-deal Brexit. So the Tories seem ready to screw Britain hard one way or another regardless of whether who their leader and the British PM is.
I think he would try to get it passed in parliament again, by giving MP's the chance to unravel their previous votes against the deal, however, he would be making the same series of mistakes that Theresa MAY did, by allowing MP's to take control of the government's business in the Commons & that would be fatal.
That's the difference between Boris - Jeremy HUNT, we have to leave & there should not be an early election, unless the government cedes to that wish by not opposing a confidence vote.
Now, when that election does come, the parties that wish to rejoin the E.U, are within their right to include such a policy in their manifesto-if they think that they can get elected on such a policy-which, I very much doubt.
Such a route was that which Harold WILSON chose in 1975, unlike the uneducated rabble that inhabit the Labour Party of today, in Wilson's time, they showed a healthy respect for democracy, win or lose, whether by referendum or by election, whereas today's lot, want to circumvent democracy by having a second vote before the ink is dry on the first one.
Before such a manifesto commitment was made in an election manifesto, the voters would want to know every little detail on the terms of negotiating a re-entry into europe, unlike the sordid 'behind-the-doors' deal that HEATH did & with the Tories utmost contempt for the concerns of the people or his MP's opposed to entry.
Unlike post 2016, the people accepted the result, they never made any flimsy, if valid, excuses to re-run the saga over & over again.
