> It shows how naive the remain side (my side) have been. If it makes you feel any better, it's quite possible that a significant number of the Tory MPs who "fell for" this little trap were actually in favour of No Deal (perhaps out of apathy or a misguided sense of party loyalty), and just wanted the fig leaf of saying that they voted in parliament for a deal instead of No Deal. Had the Remain side noticed or publicised this trap before the vote on the Withdrawal Agreement, those MPs would have probably just said "Well, you got me!" and voted it through anyway. As for whether revealing this trap before the 2019 election would have made a difference, that's probably even less amenable to rational analysis, given that the Lib Dems increased their vote share by 4.2% of the national vote (compared to the Conservatives' 1.2%) but ended up losing seats (rather than gaining 48 of them).
