You misunderstand the powers totally.

Parliament is not the Executive, it cannot dictate Government policy. Sure it can vote down bills, amendments but the fundamental principle remains, noone can dictate to Theresa May to withdraw/delay/retract Article 50, no matter how many times they vote for a motion or amendment to a motion, they are not legally binding.
