I can see why somebody with your opinion would think that, it is after all leaving the EU properly. Something that May's deal doesn't really do.
I know you have certainly made your mind up but not every leave voter would have had your hardline stance on the matter and no deal would not be what they thought they were voting for, neither would May's deal.
As for the rest of your post, I really think we have to see how things play out re Brexit because IMO the differing outcomes change the game going forward. I couldn't predict who will win the next GE, all I do suspect is Red or Blue and neither will get a majority.
For all the calls on here, from some quarters, for a General Election, I really can't see how that is going to solve the problem of Brexit. In fact, I agree with you, that an election would prove indecisive and risk complicating even more, the mess in which we find ourselves.
As we all know roughly which side of the Brexit line we stand, perhaps it could be more fruitful, rather than carry on the bickering, to look at the possible scenarios come December the 11th. The Guardian proposes these possible eventualities ...........

I really think the question is no longer
if but
when her deal is rejected. The important factor is maybe the size of her defeat. If it were small, she may be emboldened to try and tweak it a little and represent it in the hope of gaining the extra votes she requires. The possible shock to the markets may make some MP's think twice about voting the deal down a second time. The worry for May (very justified in my opinion) is that the deal will be heavily defeated. If the vote was thought to be on a knife edge, I'm sure many could be persuaded to hold their noses and support it................but it's not. Thus MP's will feel freer to express their dislike for it, knowing that it won't be just them who have caused its defeat. A large defeat beckons. In that case, I can't see anything else but May resigning, how could she carry on?
The Tories would then descend into a leadership contest, (that may not be very pretty!) they would want, at all costs to avoid a General Election and could claim, with some justification, that it would solve little regarding Brexit. Yet this is not the way it was meant to be. Cert, the Tories wished to ditch May before the next election but that was surely planned
after she had taken the hot potato of Brexit through to some kind of a conclusion. Who on earth would want to come in and pick up the problem of untangling ourselves from the present toxic mess??? A senior, 'safe pair of hands' may be a (temporary) solution.
Given this scenario we would probably apply to the EU to postpone Brexit (I think this is possible) so as to give us time to sort things out. Seeing no agreed solution coming from parliament it is possible to see the new Tory leader, not shackled by May's dogma, offering it back to the people in another referendum. It
could happen like this...................but don't ask me to bet my house on it!
