I’ll give it a go:
The Leader of the opposition will use the repeated failure by May’s government to win the vote in the house (commons) on her brexit deal as an excuse to table a no confidence vote in the PM.
Effectively a coup to force a general election in which the leader of the opposition hopes the people will elect his cranky ass into office.
It usually results in a lame-duck administration for the rest of the term.
However Ms May is unpopular in the extreme so her own party MPs may vote with the opposition, against her,and remove her from both the party leadership and PM roles.
Because the vote was triggered by the opposition and not her own party a general election could/should be triggered.

Errr,yeah. Something like that.

Back when the Brexit vote was held, it seemed pretty clear that a lot of people did not vote expecting that nothing would change. It appears the younger voters (who historically don’t vote as much) were beaten out by the older and rural voters who were more bothered by change. I suspect a revote will be held and Brexit canceled as there are fewer old voters now and the young are more international in their viewpoints.
