Common people have no longer have any say on Brexit. Parliment is Remain supporter in ratio of 75:25 (based on stats published before referendum).
So options we have now:
1. No deal [Leave] = unlikely to be approved by MPs
2. TM's deal [Remain effectively]
3. Remain [via 2nd referendum or similar]
As JRM et al could not challenge TM, no deal scenario is weak at the moment. Since 2 out of 3 possible scenarios are actually remain that's probably likely to happen.
Unless there is an election again and a new Brexit party is formed.
2nd referendum doesn't guranteed remain though. Leave can again win (and then it will be guaranteed no deal Brexit).
In a way #2 option is middle ground where both Leavers and Remainers can claim victory. While #2 is remain in reality it still keeps the Brexit hope (albeit dim) alive.
