The problem is that parliament, like the UK as a whole, is completely divided and each side is getting more entrenched and further apart. Within the remain and leave groups, they are even further subdivided - revokers, 2nd ref, no-deal, May's deal etc and so on.
The time for compromise and consensus was immediately post-ref, pre-red lines. At that point, before the goalposts started shifting, a strong leader would have got everyone together and found an option that could have found majority support. Way too late now.
During the indicative vote process it got very close, but in the end too many MPs voted with the whips rather than conscience and now we're all fucked.
Not sure where things go now even if no-deal can be legislatively blocked.
