What a mess. This is going to be uglier than a no deal Brexit. Mainly because they didn't get enough time to do anything about their predicament, so they'll just end up with a no deal brexit anyway, but in the meantime they'll probably have a general election and European parliamentary elections, and both of those are going to tear the country apart, and the latter will probably be ugly for the EU too. The only way they get out of no deal at this point is if UKIP and the Brexit party split the Leave vote so badly that a Labour-LibDem-SNP coalition gets into power with Lib Dems and SNP making a second referendum a bargaining chip for forming a government. That still leaves behind a massively polarized country. The existence of the Brexit party will mean that literally every general election will be a new Brexit referendum until the party dies or succeeds in its goals.
