"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.
"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."
The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

Everything you know is wrong!

It is indeed, quite likely that the majority would like to return to the days when the sun never set on the British empire.
This is unlikely to be feasible. In particular, I doubt you would get many of today's women to wear Victorian fashions,
and the working class would not accept the employment terms and conditions now they are mostly literate.
Actually, the vote was within 1% - and would far better be interpreted as "don't know" than a majority wanting anything.
(Particularly since no one told them leaving involved no food).
