The EU has no reason to keep the UK in after the deadline.
EU has every reason to make an example of Britain. Once out, the EU will never readmitt the UK except on the terms of UK’s unconditional surrender and being granted much less influence than any current members. So Britain will live in perpetual limbo where things are much worse outside and yet no government can survive the sort of capitulation needed to get back inside.
They also have every reason to make good with Scotland which voted to remain by a much larger margin but were still forced out against their will. Which would also further make an example of the rest of the UK with having it break apart by leaving.
Also Scotland is an oil producing country.
