Given the choice, Parliament would indeed continue to vote against No Deal. There is however the very real possibility that the choice is about to be taken off them. A long extension was always contingent on there being a credible strategy that required a long extension to implement. There is no credible strategy, and that isn’t all Teresa May’s fault; Parliament has made a complete exhibition of itself over the last week. There is no strategy and no sign of one emerging. As things stand right now, the EU has the power to watch us sail over the edge on 12 April, and it may just have grown tired enough of the process to allow it to happen.

This I suspect is the ERG’s strategy. The British political establishment won’t ever choose No Deal, but, once they’re as prepared as they can be, the European one just might.
