No-deal Brexit may force rethink of vote - ex-civil service head

Impact would be so grave UK would have to review decision to leave EU, says Bob Kerslake

Britain may have to rethink the decision to leave the EU if the government is unable to strike a Brexit deal with Brussels, a former head of the civil service has said.

Bob Kerslake said the consequences of a no-deal exit would be so serious that the UK parliament would have to consider whether it could allow it to go ahead.

Lord Kerslake, who has been advising Labour on preparing for government, said that at the very least the article 50 process – under which the UK is set to leave the bloc on 29 March next year – would have to be paused.

In those circumstances, the European commission would almost certainly insist on some “re-examination” of the original decision to leave, he said.

Maybe. Or perhaps he's right and a real Brexit would damage the country irreparably.

That would show ‘em though, the corrupt elites, right?

The government is likely to spilt and a emergency coalition formed until a new GE.

A collapsed parliament results in the UK without a working government leading to a run on the pound, stocks slump, house prices correct, Corybn becomes leader of the UK without a vote.
