It’s a bit more nuanced than that.
There are remainers, that are also democrats.
I agree that parliament is majority remain, but amongst their number are those worried about going against the democratic will of the people will do to.
A) them first and foremost, and
B) The future of politics in the U.K.
There won’t be riots, brexiteers aren’t socialists after all. But as we’ve seen again and again, the quiet majority usually do their protesting in the polling booth. So it would be interesting to see what happens.

The thing is though Chris, and I agree with you, but I don’t see that the Gov or Parliament have any other way out of this. So they will find a way to make it happen.
I don’t want one, i’m In the no deal camp, and let it ride philosophy at the moment.
