Recently, I wrote an article describing my views that Brexit is growing increasingly likely, rather than unlikely, by simple virtue of the fact that it is already current law, and attempts to repeal it have failed.
Contributor Peter Cooper responded with an emphatic assertion that whatever the technical merits of my article, the practical reality was very different because the MPs would simply hold a new vote. And if the government tried to stop them from holding a new vote on the EU Withdrawal Act, they could always just call a vote of no-confidence instead.
