It's the default outcome if nobody in charge does anything to prevent it.
"To prevent the UK from leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement, this government will propose a bill that would revoke Article 50 in the instance that Parliament votes down a second withdrawal agreement vote."
Easy. Or reworded into whatever actual realistic and legal proposal the government would put forward.
Labour, Lib Dems, and the SNP are all effectively demanding some kind of preventative measure is in place to stop No Deal from happening, I don't get why that's a big deal, other than it isn't in the internal interests of the Tory party.
The Chancellor seems to be trying to tell big business leaders that this is on the cards anyway.
