Longer than you think.
IF labour (Corbie "ThisMorning" TV now) now say they will go for r2 if they cant force a GE. (might be saying that if there a NO deal?)
And their leader now says if they get into power they will go for a customs union......................and a transition period............another two years, not sure even the EU will tolerate any more negotiations.
So labours says (Corbie)
R2 If not then-
GE
Negotiate for a customs union.

In you're posts you think brexit is the answer to the country's problems.
The country is on a knife edge,it was split down the middle in 2016 on the issue,that was before most people(myself included to an extent)realised just how complicated and protracted brexit would be,however one thing I was sure of and which even the most ardent of brexit campaigners agree now,is that the country will suffer as a result,how much and for how long varies in the predictions of these supporters of brexit.
I conclude that,even by these supporters of brexit predictions,the country is in a dire and precarious position.
If,as you seem to yearn for,a hard brexit happens,the country will fall into the abyss of no trade deals and will truly be an island,isolated and at the mercy of whoever has no mercy.
You may think that a good position to be in.
I don't.
Your poke at Corbyn is understandable from your position,but without being a member of the customs union we're sunk,and to want a second referendum seems logical in the current turmoil the country finds itself in seeing as parliament has no spherics to implement what it knows to be the right desicion ie;stop the madness and remain in the EU.
A GE may well happen soon or not at all.
But please don't ever think the country isn't in dire straights currently because it is.
One further point.
Yourself and no other supporter of brexit has yet given a single good reason for leaving the EU that hasn't been totally disproven time and again on the other thread and elsewhere.
It seems to me your reason for leaving and preference for a hard brexit(something you've claimed previously)is that you simply don't like the EU,which to me equates to not liking the nose on you face,taking a sharp knife and cutting it off,disfiguring yourself and then staring into a mirror watching intently at you examine your self inflicted disfigurement as you slowly bleed to death in the hope someone may intervene and help.
You may claim that's a ridiculous POV and that all will be well and rosey in the garden at some time in the future or that you will grow a new and better nose,or maybe you think being poor and disheveled with no friends is worth it for taking back control,control that the UK already has but without your knowledge.

The same applies to countries and more so in a global economy,unfortunately too many people labour under the false belief in the opposite,those believers tend to be supporters of brexit........
