Also there are too many Tory MPs who might lose their seats for them to back a call for a GE so the chances of it happening are unlikely to say the least.
The arch Brexiteer Corbyn would probably settle for a customs union type Adios and as long as enough Tory and Labour MPs support it it will get through Parliament and we’re out.

If remainers want the UK to remain having a second referendum may not be a good idea – consider the Brenda of Bristol dictum “You’re joking – not another one. For god’s sake, I can’t stand another one…..!” See https://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2017/apr/18/does-brenda-from-bristol-have-the-best-reaction-to-the-election-news-video for full unexpurgated version!

Let the Tories stew in their own incompetence.

We need a proper socialist Brexit.
