Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIt's now crunch time. Cooper's vs Brady's amendments. If Brady succeeds with his backstop amendment then I suspect May's Brexit goes through, otherwise Brexit will go into the long grass.
There are also dangers if May backs the amendment (with a three-line whip). And dangers if she doesn't.

Originally posted by stonehenge View PostAs I understand it, Brady's amendment is just an indicative vote as to whether the House would accept the WA with an alternative to the backstop. The EU would still have to agree to change it.

Originally posted by Lance View PostThe key thing here is that if Brady's amendment succeeds May can go back to the EU and say "here's something I can get a majority for. Now please adjust the backstop so we can finish this"
'On the other, the PM also knows that the EU’s negotiators and the Irish government would interpret her giving official backing to the amendment as in effect ripping up the Withdrawal Agreement – and far from encouraging the EU to amend and compromise, it could be what forces the EU’s 27 leaders to conclude that no “reasonable” deal will ever be negotiable.'Comment

If the Withdrawal Agreement changes, though, Member States have influence through the European Parliament and European Council:
(A50 text)It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.Comment
