No need. The EU tell the government what to do. They tell MP's what to do, then finally the Lords get told what to do. And if they don't like it about all they can do is delay things until it gets thrown back at them to try again until the "right" result is obtained. Just like what's going...

Ignoring whether it actually is a deal or not (due to the ratification requirement), it does not extract us from the requirement to abide by directives we may not agree with.
