So, my understanding from the last two days of votes is as follows:
Parliament doesn't want to be in the EU
Parliament doesn't want to leave the EU with a deal
Parliament doesn't want to leave the EU without a deal
Parliament doesn't want to have a second referendum
Parliament doesn't want parliament to decide what parliament wants.
Parliament doesn't want to leave the EU when we're scheduled to leave the EU.

I concur with Logan and Jimski. I think by putting the time extension in place, they are kind of taking no deal off the table. At this point, the most Brexity Brexit possible seems to be through the May WA, which the ERG and DUP will eventually support. They'll despise May (even more than they already do) for making them back it, but I think that's where we end up.

The Tories and their Jaffa enablers just need to be removed from power during the proper Grown Up negotiations. A June election after a signed withdrawal agreement/Tory civil war mightn't be the worst outcome. If Labour can win enough English seats, and hold their nose to work with the SNP, who in all likliehood will take all but a couple of Scottish seats back from SLab.

My reading is the same as Jimski's. But it occurs to me that some of these lunatics are properly incapable of reasoned thought and immensely wedded to hard Brexit. For them, a WA-Brexit is not hard enough and a WA-Brexit is enshrined permanently. Therefore the only way to get a really really hard Brexit is to kill the WA. A really hard Brexit is technically possible even after revoking A50 but is not under the WA.

The idea that the DUP is remotely capable of compromise or anything approaching a climbdown is laughable. Likewise certain members of the ERG. Let's remember: they know very well they don't need to agree anything to get what they want, they just need to prevent anything they don't want from being agreed.

The ultra yahoos that make up the DUP Westminster lot are the reason we have a U.K. wide backstop, they forced Eyebrows Arlene to reject the Dec 2017 compact that applied to NI only. So of course now a U.K. wide backstop is equally unpalatable. There is no reasoning with the likes of Sammy Fuckin Wilson or Dodds, Paisley Jr prob has a price above bigoted principles, but has likely been bought off by the other side already.
