ERG would've have voted for it, if the backstop had a defined end-date, rather than continue with the nonsense of it ending only if the EU says so.
If it has a date, it's not a backstop. That's just not cricket.

The backstop is dependent on a deal being reached with the UK, not one side or the other calling it off. As the EU has the most trade deals of any trading bloc and the UK is a close and rich partner with close ties, a deal would invariably happen.

Every MP should follow their conscience. If they believe that a vote for Brexit will close factories and offices and leave their constituents worse off, then I am sure you will understand that it is rational for them to vote against it.
