You're of course correct.

So the sequence of events could be this:
1) UK's cake-and-eat-it trade request with the EU is rejected.
2) GB has a hard Brexit and NI remains in single market and customs union
3) DUP withdraws its support due to the hard border between GB and NI.
4) Corbyn wins election with promise to take all of UK back into EU.
And just ignore a Democratic result?

I think you are conveniently forgetting, a lot Labour heartlands are Brexiteers. You think they would vote for a party that would just ignore democracy like that?

I don’t think so, there will be riots and I would riot with them. When will you let it sink in, you cannot just hold a large democratic process and just ignore it?

Bottom line is, 3 and 4 are a stretch of your Remainer imagination, working on too much hope where there is none, as we are leaving.
