Mr Johnson has repeatedly signalled the UK would leave at the end of next month, regardless of whether a new deal is approved. But former Prime Minister John Major accused him of planning to exploit a loophole to bypass the law and force through a no deal Brexit, despite the Commons passing an Act forcing him to extend if there is no deal bythe Halloween deadline. He added the Tory party will use a piece of legal “chicanery” to bypass the rebel Bill forcing him to go for an extension to the October 31 deadline.
But Express.co.uk have voted overwhelmingly in favour of exiting the EU without a deal to ensure Brexit is delivered.
Voters were asked what Mr Johnson should do if he fails to get a deal with the EU before October 31.
Out of the 15,255 people who voted, 13,698 people said they think Mr Johnson should leave with no deal.
Meanwhile, 1,468 people said there should be another extension to the Brexit deadline.
And 91 people said they did not know.
People also shared their frustration at the Brexit impasse still being unsolved.
One reader said: “Of course we should leave without a deal.
“The referendum was about leaving the EU completely, without making deals beforehand.”
Another person wrote: “We could have a 10 year extension and nothing would change.

The discussion focused on how to prevent the Prime Minister ignoring the Act, which opposition MPs and Tory rebels passed to demand him to ask for a delay to Brexit until January 31, unless they back a deal.
Mr Corbyn, in an interview after the meeting, said they will take “parliamentary action” to ensure the PM does not “crash us out” of the EU on the current October 31 deadline without a deal.
He said: ”It’s not a matter of choice for him, it’s an Act of Parliament that was passed. Last night he seemed unable to give that undertaking.”
The leaders are set to meet again on Monday to discuss what motions they can introduce in the Commons to further force the PM to request the delay from Brussels.
After the talks, Ms Saville-Roberts told the PA news agency: “The cross-party group believe the Act is watertight, but fear the PM could break the law.”
“They have form for us not to trust them,” she added, referring to the Supreme Court ruling that Mr Johnson’s prorogation was unlawful.
Ms Soubry added: “We did a pretty good job on the Benn Act, We think we’re alright.
“But the trouble is, I’m afraid to say, is that we have a Prime Minister who you cannot trust.”
The Express.co.uk poll went live on September 26 at 12.15pm and closed 9.55pm.
