I think the only way that's going to happen is if there is a vote of no confidence, general election and a pro EU party gets in before Article 50 is invoked. Both Gove and May have ruled out a general election. Why give away power after having only just seized it? Labour have imploded and can't able to oppose a paper bag. It would be quite funny if the SNP initiated a vote of no confidence in the Labour party like they did in 1979 though. It would be like Battlestar Galactica "All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again". Or history never repeats itself but it does rhyme.
But given that the SNP are going to look at every possibility of staying in the EU, that a progressive alliance of the left parties has been proposed to defeat the Tories and that the Lib dems would be running on a the promise to return the UK to the EU, then it could happen.
As far as I'm concerned there has been a shifting of the political landscape for the last few years and this is the main seismic shift. I don't think it's possible to go back to what it was because too much has changed.
