Whenever the next election is, assuming Corbyn is still the Labour boss, the Tories will win in a landslide - so the longer the Tories delay this the better, from their point of view. Given that the majority of MPs are against Brexit, and the electorate has no idea what it has voted for, any chance of rescuing the situation should be taken. This seems as good a way out as any.
