Okay, so I don't follow UK politics all that carefully. But if May's Brexit thing fails, it means a political realignment doesn't it? Tories implode. Labour lose voters to a new Brexit party, and also voters to a party committed to remaining.
Then what, a General Election. Labour win, but no overall majority, & big resurgence of populist right wing? Tories might do better than expected if a hard Brexiter is charge. But they schism anyway? Is that how it all plays out?

Yes..... probably. But the Tories are going to resist a general election. The fact that they won't be able to get Brexit done might change their minds, unless they find a way to Brexit by default.

The Tories have to get Brexit done, surely? Aren't they finished if they don't? (I'm not really following this closely enough to have a proper sense of it.)
-
Yes, probably. But they, and more importantly Parliament, can't agree on which Brexit to do. This doesn't look like it will change with an election. Possibly a new Tory leader finds a way to command a majority in the HoC over Brexit...but it's not obvious how.

Seems like it. I think it's a problem with party systems. The base of far right parties seems mainly to want Brexit, and a clamp down on immigration. The parties themselves want to smuggle in loads of privatisation and tax breaks for the rich.
