Is the deal all that bad or just politically unpalatable?

Maybe a combination of the two and also this is a prime opportunity to try and put yourself forward for the Tory leadership.

Both really. A lot of the Brexit support relied on never saying what Brexit actually was. We’ve just reached a point where it was no longer possible to do that.

the deal is bad if you’re a Brexiter because it’s not brexitty enough and bad if you’re a Remainer because it’s still Brexit

if you accept that Brexit has to happen it’s about as soft a Brexit as you can get and therefore a good deal

so both sides want to face the deal down for their own reasons - but one side is going to lose badly when we get either hard Brexit, or no Brexit at all

this deal is only the exit deal - it covers how things would work while we negotiate any trade deal with the Eu, so anything in it is temporary

the uk wouldn’t be in *the* single market, but in *a* single market with the Eu, abiding by the same rules, but not in a position to influence them - which is the problem with it. it’s also essentially open ended.

tbh I don’t know how freedom of movement has been affected. I cba reading it either.

Ehhhhh

If the DUP stops supporting the government, then probably yes. If they're sated with ditching May for another leader, then there's nothing stopping them trucking on til 2022

it could but not directly

a new Tory leader would mean a new prime minister, but that doesn’t necessitate an election

however a new leader - or May - might see it as a risky way to break the Brexit impasse

It's my understanding that if May gets no-confidence'd, the issue will come down to whether the Tories will be able to select a new leader among themselves. If they can't, then the UK gets another election.

I believe the Tories that dislike May are being careful about this, because they're more afraid of a Labour government should another election happen.

Given they have quite a robust leadership election system I assume they could select a new leader. The problem is more that they would face the same parliamentary complexities.

A change of leadership is just more can-kicking. Whoever ends up in charge still has to face up to the fact that there is no deal that everyone will agree on, and a no deal Brexit would be a complete disaster.

You might get Jo Johnson making a run as a remain Tory

The Tory governing and voting coalition relies on being able to deliver Brexit though. The fact that they can't means they are pretty hosed

Basically the only hope for the Tories is that the ERG are more scared of a GE and possible Labour government than no brexit
