The Benn Act came precisely because the PM didn't have any ideas, had promised to leave by an arbitrary date in the Conservative elections, and was shutting down democracy to ensure that he could.

What this argument amounts to is:

Democracy is the reason we couldn't sort out the deal, because it got in the way of a threat that the other side had made very clear they were not threatened by.
