Even as a 'Brexiteer', I don't see this as a bad thing.

I don't particularly trust this Govt to get a good deal from the EU so hopefully this will hold them to account, perhaps also putting the pressure on to secure a better deal than would otherwise have been deemed acceptable so that it gets Parliament's approval.

I do recognise that this is a bit of an oxymoron, we can at least hope for a good deal however.
