Parliament To Vote On The Brexit Deal Before Christmas.
It seems to be a deal that no one wants. Will MPs vote for it anyway?
If the Government lose the vote what would happen next. Would May have to resign?

Ahead of any Tory candidate, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is seen as the most likely next prime minister by bookmakers, with odds as low as 4/1 from William Hill and Betfred. //
Not sure how that would play out.
Normally losing a vote such as this would mean the Prime Minister resigning or the calling of a General Election. But we live in strange times. Perhaps after losing a parliamentary vote would be the time for the 1922 committee to deal their ‘No confidence’ card and topple May who would be a lameduck PM.

// the house can't force one without the Tories and they wont play ball //
176 Conservative MPs backed Remain in the Referendum. It would only take few of those to be enough to cause a General Election or a new Referendum, a last ditch attempt to kill Brexit altogether. Some Tory MPs (in safe seats) might be tempted.

There's a good analysis of how the numbers stack up here:

But what if in the second referendum the "people" get it wrong again, as in "we want out, but we don't accept this deal"? Where would we go from there referendum three apart?
I do assume that "out but no to that" would be an option on the ballot paper.
Or do the clever people like Kvalidir and Jim think that's far to dangerous an option given the stupidity of most Brexiteers?

Depends on what you mean by getting it wrong. The people weren't necessarily wrong the first time, but the politicians who put the question did so dishonestly, and had no plan for the answer that was given. What is required is that the same mistake is not made this time, which is to say that government must be ready to carry out the result of the referendum, whatever that is.
In practice, this probably means that "no deal" doesn't belong on the referendum, because the government clearly is not ready for and has no intention of allowing this to happen.

Essentially unless Brexiteers really are blithering morons (and I don't happen to think they are by and large), we have a choice; leave and we suffer the consequences of that or we stay and, well, don't.
Europe is not going to change it's stance, it's in self protection mode (quite rightly) and it's naive to think we can leave and have it all our own way.
THAT was never going to happen ( which I think most Remainers saw clearly and by contrast for some reason Brexiteers didn't).
