'BREXIT Poker'?

Maybe Boris Johnson (PM of the UK) isn't the most gifted political figure around, but on strategy and laying out stepping stones....it appears that he anticipated the dozen-odd moves required, and has angled everything (I think) toward an election-situation. 

What happens in this election to change the path of BREXIT?  I think the BREXIT Party will openly run their candidates in any district where a anti-BREXIT Parliament member is occupied (even if the guy is a Tory).  If you have a pro-BREXIT Tory....the BREXIT Party will probably not run in that district. 

This election, whether people want to admit it or not.....is really not about candidates, but BREXIT itself.  And it ought to be saying something about the next year (I kinda expect another election before the end of 2020). 

Destabilized?  This is the path that the vast number of political folks have selected, and it represents a severe pain for the general public. 

But I add this one growing problem....those EU folks who think that the collapse here, and the public disgust with the whole game that has played out....works toward their favor?  I would suggest otherwise.  There's a lot of public disdain throughout Europe right now.  Chatter indicates Spain might be having another election shortly.  Merkel's crowd and the SPD Party in Germany are shaking their heads over AfD growth.  Italy 5-Star movement just joined up in a coalition with their mortal enemy from ten years years ago.  About the only country around without issues is Luxembourg.
