I don't think it is as simple as that. At present despite 3yrs of negotiation no deal has been placed on the table to be agreed. All we have had is a flawed withdrawal agreement proposed which has the potential to keep us in the EU indefinitely. Parliament has rejected that.
Thanks to lily livered remain MP's the EU has been given the confidence to refuse to change the terms of the WA.
A PM who is willing to force through a no deal exit would not be advocating not having a deal with the EU just that EU intransigence on the withdrawal agreement meant leave first and then negotiate a deal.
Faced with someone willing to walk away without a deal alters the whole dynamics of negotiations.
