You can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Touche.

Here is how Brexit will be stopped:

May will not get approval for her horrible “compromise” exit from Parliament.

The Labor Party, under communist Jeremy Corbyn, will call for a vote of ‘no confidence’ in the Prime Minister, triggering a new election.

Labor will win and Corbyn will cancel the pullout.

The socialists will pull a coup and end Brexit.

May’s exit is not an exit. Get rid of her.

You’re apparently unaware that Corbyn is far more pro-Brexit than May herself has ever been. Like many on the hard left faction of Labour, to which he belongs and which now controls the party, the EU has always been anathema as a capitalist cabal intrinsically inimical to workers’ rights. Corbyn has voted against every EU Treaty during his long Parliamentary career. There’s also a view among his faction (though rarely uttered in public) that the chaos following a hard Brexit would be fertile ground for radical social and economic reform. (This, bizarrely, is also the view of some Brexiteers on the right wing of the Conservative Party, though of course with an entirely different ultimate objective in mind).

Brexit will not be allowed to happen without a fight....unfortunately the Brits no longer have the stomach for a fight.

Corbyn wants to be PM . This is all a play for him to replace May.

The vast majority of Labor Party members want a second referendum on Brexit....and Corbyn will give them what they want to get power.

So, the March deadline will pass without an actual exit. The EU has already said that the UK can “take back” their Brexit decision. Labor will say that they need time to have a second referendum and will delay the March Brexit deadline for a few more years.

Make no mistake....these are all global socialists.

Labour's internal divisions on Brexit are far more significant than you suppose. Sure, a majority of Labour MPs oppose it (though not an overwhelming majority). The Party membership in the country, however, is a different story. Many of the constituencies which swung the referendum vote have Parliamentary seats with a large Labour majority. Those members risk losing their seats if Corbyn abandons his insistence that Brexit will happen.

And the Euroscepticism of Corbyn's wing of the Party is visceral and deep-rooted, not merely a temporary electoral expedient.
