David Davis<\/a> and his colleagues are deluding themselves and deceiving the country when they pretend that they can negotiate a Brexit deal that will be rubber-stamped by Parliament. The important point that we must all understand is that the approval of Parliament, as enshrined in an Act of Parliament, will be necessary to change the law of the land to incorporate \u2018the deal\u2019 because any deal necessarily involves changing the law (see the Gina Miller case).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many in the UK may not appreciate this, one can be certain that EU officials understand it and it is likely to shape a twin EU objective of only agreeing on a deal which is expensive for the UK and which acts as a deterrent to other member countries \u2013 with an overarching objective of inducing the UK to reconsider its leave decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some 15 months\u2019 time, to avoid the political humiliation of not having been able to negotiate a deal, the government will put the best deal that is on offer to the House of Commons. It is reasonable to believe it will be unpalatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Labour Party and other \u2018remain\u2019 MPs are unlikely to endorse a bad deal. The Government will need to call an election (which it is likely to lose) or hold a late second referendum or both. The country will be in a mess as the clock ticks down to March 2019, when, absent an agreement to postpone the leaving date, it will leave without a deal and with little or inadequate preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid a chaotic outcome a new Government is likely to agree with the EU<\/a> on an extension of the leaving date to allow for a second referendum. All the Labour Party has to do to win an election is to offer the country a second referendum \u2013 it will have wide support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remainers may view such an outcome as an acceptable one. But if a \u2018stay\u2019 referendum result is delivered towards the end of 2019, the UK will have suffered political and economic turmoil for nearly four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be avoided or shortened<\/strong> The Government should accept that it needs the House of Commons on its side and is unlikely to get an acceptable deal without a second referendum. The question or box-ticking exercise can be simple such as ticking one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the UK stay in the EU?
Should the UK leave even if it cannot get an acceptable EU deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the majority tick the second box then the EU, the House of Commons and the country at large will understand the strength of the electoral will and we are more likely to get a sensible deal from the EU. Consider how much stronger the negotiating hand of David Davis et al will be. The Government should organise a second referendum immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if the majority tick the first box we can all get on with our lives without Brexit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are sleepwalking into Brexit chaos.
