On that basis, I should think Parliament will vote for the deal as most MPs do not want to fall back on WTO rules. For many, it will be Hobson's choice, which is why I am confident that the Parliament will vote for the Chequers deal.
Whether the British public will be happy with that is a different question.

Glad to oblige, Seph, and TM will still be PM on 1/1/19!

Parliament can vote for whatever it chooses, but Barnier has already said the Chequers deal is not acceptable.
A deal that both sides can work with needs to be possible before any parliamentary approval can be sought.
