Parliament has just turned down a motion to put it back to the people.

The EU will likely accept an EEA deal or a Canada deal. They've made it quite clear there are several options open the UK. The difference is we don't want either because the former is too close to EU membership and the latter wouldn't work for our industries. So we want a bespoke deal which is harder to achieve since we're largely aiming for the single market part of the deal without the ECJ and freedom of movement.
The most likely option to me seems that we kick the can down the road, agree the extension period, while we work on a Canada++ or a Norway-- deal.
But let's stop pretending we've been rejected time and time again from the EU because we only came up with the White Paper last week so this notion that is being created in the event we leave of the EU rejecting every proposal was turned down is pure fan-fiction.

We request to the EU. However I don't think it would be a delay but the 'transition period'.
