Parliament could have said what it wanted instead of May's deal. It had the opportunity to do so, without being bound by May's red lines.
They were whipped votes. Too many spineless careerists toed the line. (Or to be very, very charitable - thought that supporting the government would result in a deal eventually).

Parliament could have said what it wanted instead of May's deal. It had the opportunity to do so, without being bound by May's red lines. It failed to do so, because MPs couldn't agree on an alternative. Twice. Parliament has been very good at turning down May's deal, but spectacularly poor at agreeing on an alternative.
