" .... the UK will have contractual ties to the EU in the future"
Once the UK is COMPLETELY OUT OF THE EU, the UK can then regain control of THEIR LAWS, THEIR BORDERS AND THEIR MONEY.
The UK can then have "CONTRACTUAL TIES" with WHICHEVER COUNTRY THEY WISH TO HAVE TIES WITH, and Vice-Versa.
They can negotiate TRADE DEALS WITH ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD that they wish to trade with, and Vice-Versa, and do so on WTO Rules if agreed to by a Trading Partner.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMO, THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A SOVEREIGN STATE, and no longer a "Vassal State" of the EU.
Theresa May resigned because she was determined to get her "deal" through Parliament. And, as you correctly stated, she could not get a majority vote on that "Deal".
BUT, one must remember, she told the British public OVER 108 TIMES that the UK "Would Leave the EU WITH, OR WITHOUT, A DEAL !!"
Needless to say, SHE WAS COMPLETELY DISHONEST IN THAT REGARD because her "Deal" still tied the UK to the EU in several areas, PLUS it jeopardized the UK's relationship with Northern Island due to the "Irish Backstop" clause in her "Deal".
" ... but Boris was never on the election ticket either (May was)"
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Boris Johnson stood in the 2017 General Election for the Conservative Party and won his seat in Uxbridge and South Ruislip .......
If you mean that he wasn't on the "ticket" for Leader of the Conservative Party in 2016, he wanted to stand for Leader and originally made that intention clear, however he got "stabbed in the back" by Michael Gove, so he withdrew .....
" ... I don’t think it is totally presumptuous to expect new elections"
The thing is, there is a LAW that was passed that currently states that the UK must leave the EU by the 31st. October 2019. A "Motion" in Parliament cannot change that Law. The only way that can change is if a NEW LAW is passed in Parliament that changes that .......
