Hence why the agreement is harder than the actual bill procedure.

I honestly think, if the May deal is voted down, the only viable way this thing continues is a second referendum.
I think, as per my previous post, the only reason the EU would extend A50, if is there was another referendum, which in all likelihood, remain would wn.

I dunno, I am skeptical of a second referendum. I think it will only strengthen division and unleash nasty forces. I think Remain would just about win simply because the demographics have slightly changed since 2016 and also the young people who sat out last time would probably come out this time. But I think to have any legitimacy to close down the debate the win would need to be a blow-out for Remain, i.e 60%+, which won't happen. 52-48 the other way would be a nightmare.
I would rather the last two years were spent working out a Brexit that works with the 48% too. Ending free movement and the social charter stuff from Europe which were Brexiters biggest concern whilst keeping economically close to the EU. May only went in that direction after losing the election.
