Perhaps you should look up what "passing legislation" requires in the UK.
I'm still somewhat shocked at how little awareness there is of the legislative process. We need more civics classes in school, instead of the waste of time that is Assembly

It’s possible that May has used up all of her political capital and the EU no longer believes she can deliver anything, but that doesn’t mean that they would expect cast iron guarantees in the case of something substantially shifting, and a new PM would clearly be something substantially shifting.
