I believe it is possible in theory. Parliament now have to agree on how to action the divorce. If all the pro-EU PMs cross-party vote against the proposals then it could be held up. But who is willing to put their job/reputation on the line apart from maybe the SNP members?
In any case this will not be done in two years which is the max time allowed by the EU treaty after the UK gov makes it official.
Trade negotiations much more simple than this between the EU and other countries usually take 4-5 years or more. I will be surprised if the UK is out completely within 5 years.
During that time the UK is still subject to all the terms of EU membership.
Plus there are re-negotiations with all the other countries the UK had access to via the existing EU trade agreements.
