No-dealers and New-dealers
The No-dealers are going to spend the next three months pretending to leave Europe with no deal.
The New-dealers are going to spend the same three months pretending to leave Europe with a different deal
The New-dealers are going to spend the same three months pretending to leave Europe with a different deal

If it's a new-dealer, Europe will refuse to renegotiate, although English journalism remains oblivious to the fact

New Tory leader. New policy. Policy fails. Then what? A general election is out because the Tories know they would lose. To Corbyn. Lose an election to Corbyn.

No deal
No Brexit

And seeing as we're not trapped in the eternal news cycle of English politics, we can think months in advance of our opponents. The Brexiteers are going to fight hard, so we can start now.
We need a logo. Something like . . .
