Yea, it is those pushing for the no deal Brexit that are 'pushing hard for MPs to do something illegal'. Using an advisory referendum to dictate government policy, reneging on the Good Friday Agreement, airy fairy campaign promises (the two worst offenders for having made these are the head of the privy council and the PM: two men in the best positions to implement these unkept promises - but nope)... All of these things are at best of dubious legality.
So your hypothetical situation is what we are seeing now except the situation is flipped and the condom is on the other cock.

There's absolutely nothing illegal about a no-deal, clean-break Brexit. In fact, the opposite is true - it's the law - Article 50 states once a member state invokes A50, they have two years to negotiate a deal, after that they're out unless it's revoked or the conditions for an extension are met. Similarly there's nothing in the Good Friday Agreement that states the UK (or RoIreland for that matter) have to stay members of the EU.
