THE next Tory prime minister faces uncomfortable choices - a no deal Brexit, election or second referendum.
Every single one of those options has been defeated either by opposing Brexiteers or Remainers in the Conservative Party or by Parliament as a whole. The serious prospect, given the seismic shift towards Nigel Farage's Brexit Party and the Liberal Democrats who support another referendum, is that vote leakages will favour Jeremy Corbyn's hard left Labour Party in the next general election. That is due in 2022, but since the Conservatives are a struggling minority government, the election could take place sooner, political analysts believe.
