Parliament wants to pass the Brexit bill and ratify the deal. That’s what a 30 vote majority on 2nd Reading means. The government’s timetable was defeated because MPs want 2-3 weeks to consider the detail of the bill. That’s what an extension would be for.
Many wanted to move on to the next stage. A stage in which more scrutiny could be given and amendments made. To suggest they all approved of the bill as it currently reads is beyond disingenuous.

They approved enough... Enough to ensure it got to the next stage of the normal legislative process. Amendments may happen. They may lose of gain support. There may be aspects the Gov don't like, but they'll have to sick it up. That's Democracy.

Most of the Labour MPs, who voted to move to the next stage, have made it quite clear they don't support the bill as is. If that weren't the case they'd have voted for the business motion.
