It's not up to them, parliament has to vote and there is no majority for no-deal. A new election with a fresh roster of MPs could change that but 2/3rds of Parliament would need to vote for an election.
If you read some far-right rag then no-deal is just around the corner. But there is some semblance of democracy preventing that.

- chrisseaton 7y agoI think you’re somewhat dangerously in denial if you think there is no chance of no-deal at the moment. The government’s legal opinion is that no-deal is the default and is what will be implemented if nothing else is voted for, and this is also what the BBC believe to be the case, although you will also find alternative opinions including the Speaker. This is why there is talk of sending the Commons home - so that the default happens and there is no-deal. MPs have to vote for something to avoid no-deal. And as you say, there’s no majority for anything so nothing is being voted for.
