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.

So? That is how all legislation works. It might not affect the EU side of the deal, but amending it can alter UK legislation for the interim period on rights and our requirements for a future relationship.
Any suggestions that the majority vote was in anyway an endorsement of the deal as is is disingenuous. It's that simple.

Yes. It was indeed a simple instruction. Leave the EU. How is up to Parliament. They are a bit hamstrung by divisions, but no more than populace. The risk of another Ref... Divisive, inconclusive, legitimate? They need an equitable, workable option that will settle things, EFTA

You have just shown "leave" is far from a simple choice as it comes in many different flavours. The binary referendum in 2016 was simply not adequate for the complexities involved. Given that and the clear gulf between the leave campaign and reality a 2nd vote is essential.
