It's been the same pattern in these recent votes--the rebels threaten but don't dare follow through (except for Ken Clarke, but he's got nothing to lose) because they fear it'll trigger a general election. One mild rebellion was successful, but that was about the absolute minimum, which May still wanted to deny. Her 'strategy' has been the same in everything she has done on 'Brexit' (and the same pattern quite possibly extends to her 'hostile environment' rubbish)--try to create a total race to the bottom by being completely contrarian with the EU/MPs/Parliament while saying nothing of any substance, delaying and obfuscating, denying access to crucial information, so people have to waste their time and energy trying to get to these very basic requirements for useful political/opposition work fulfilled. I do wonder what will happen when she really runs out of time.
