Theresa May did not win the last election.
She actually lost her overall majority and the mandate given in ,2015.
She got the most votes and most seats but left unable to govern alone.

No other party in ,2017 canvassed on a no deal brexit.
None, not even the DUP.
57% of votes went to parties advocating a deal and not no deal at all.

In any event, she intended to get a deal and she did.
However all other Parties, a good number of her own party and the DUP voted against her.

I agree with bitontheslide, revoking article ,50 is the best thing.

The Cons will never vote for that and a number of Labour MPs and the DUP sadly won't either.

Which is why Corbyn's plan is one of the better ones.
However it is doomed due to the LibDems and the Independents.

So what next.
Ken Clarke leading a temporary coalition would infuriate the ERG group in the Cons.

I doubt Harriett Harman could unite either.

So it seems the Lib Dems while saying they would do anything it takes to stop no deal.
Aren't prepared to do anything at all.

They may be forced to look back at this period and see the bad choice they made here..
