Half the country voted against Brexit in all forms, about 15% voted for it wanting a hard Brexit (no trade deals with the EU at all, just out completely) about 35% voted for it wanting a soft Brexit, and most of those didn't really vote for Brexit all but as a general vote against the way their lives have gone.
As it stands any kind of Brexit at all is disliked to hated by at least 65% of the voters, and that's before it does the inevitable economic damage to a country already suffering from a decade of grim austerity, the areas that voted leave are, incidently the same areas that will be devastated economically by Brexit, it is the equivalent of Alberta voting Green.
The MP's at this point are just trying to work out how to do the least political damage to themselves and their party and survive what's coming down the pipe.
