They’ve consistently said that if the UK government’s red lines change, then they will renegotiate.
The PD, not the WA though. And, at this point, who could blame them?
The WA as-is doesn't stop anything that we can come up with in the indicative process etc, but it does stop a hard-border in Ireland, protect citizens rights and of course the payment/s to the EU.
The EU won't renegotiate.
It is the WA and more talking, or drop all the red lines and take an off-the-shelf. Only SM and CU will keep the border with ROI open. If that passes next week, I don't see the point, but negotiations will be pretty fast then.
If the government/parliament can't acknowledge that and wants a special solution/be in denial, then the negotiations AFTER the WA will be decided by whomever is in power after a GE or A50 has to be canned.
Either way, it'll be extra time unless the WA passes and it won't.
