I'm sorry to say it's false hope. Such an outcome would likely lead to greater ruin.
Just like Trump and the electoral college, if we project the vote into MP constituencies Brexit got 60% [0].
This means that most MPs voting 'No' to Brexit would anger their constituents for Subverting Democracy - one of Theresa May's favorite talking points[1]. This would likely lead to a more extreme/populist government in the next election, and perhaps some internal strife and riots in the meantime.
Who would you rather have at the helm?
