Mind you, the upside is that Labour opposing the triggering of A50 would basically render them unelectable through their non-London heartlands and destroy them politically. They're between a rock and a very, very hard place if it goes to a vote. I would expect mass abstentions.
But the MPs could very well vote based on what their constituents want and end up rejecting Brexit, despite the majority of the people voting for it. It will largely depend on the how the over 55 poplulation is distributed, as they are the ones that effectively caused Brexit.

This could really get rather interesting. Good thing my summer holiday is in the Dordogne next year.
