surely even the most spineless among them will realise it's going to cost them power
Will it though? Action don't seem to have much in the way of consequences in British politics at the moment.

Yeah, at the risk of sounding (even more) like a Debbie downer I'm pretty sure that most British Politicians will have had the connections to ensure that a hard brexit has 0 financial implications for them and will have made use of those connections by now

What's the motivation for them to see it through though, if the consequences pretty much guarantee them being hammered at the next election?
Anyway, I do accept that it's just a hope. The way it's gone so far doesn't inspire any confidence that pragmatism will play a part.

I'm still holding out hope they'll panic and cancel it if comes down to a chaotic no deal as the only Brexit option.
Feels like most politicians are only following it through for self-preservation reasons; if a market crashing disastrous Brexit is on the verge of happening, surely even the most spineless among them will realise it's going to cost them power and they might as well do anything to prevent it.
