The continuing remain strategy ever since 2016 has been to make Brexit look too arduous to see through, and then to reverse the referendum result. “Take no deal off the table” is a tactic in pursuit of that overall strategy. Nothing more.

They don't want an election as they have the government exactly where they want them. Powerless. Theoretically this could drag on until 2022.
The only risk to Labour and the others, is that if they're seen to be denying an election just to hold parliament in Limbo. When we finally get an election whenever that is, they could be held to account very severely.
Boris just needs to keep coming out as the man of the people trying to close this out against a parliament that are just there to frustrate.
Corbyn's/Labour's position will become indefensible eventually.
