What does that amendment do exactly? Force a new Brexit referendum?

  Kinda. It says we'd have May's deal but then a public vote on whether we want it or remain. The brexit enthusiasts wouldn't like it much I have to admit.

    It has been said that there is a certain demarcation between those pro-Brext and the Remainers of 50 years of age or something. This would suggest that there is a limited scope for Brexit to pass a referendum, before the demographic groupd of those born before 1968 or so diminishes. Although I understand the demographic Brexit difference has been brought into doubt, it would be interesting to see after when it becomes unlikely.

      The age thing is complicated... yes, a lot of over 50s voted leave, BUT a lot of over 80s voted remain on the basis of remembering WW2, and those have been dying like flies. That said, pretty much everyone that was 15-17.99 would have voted 'remain' had they been given the option (and many of them now feel cheated by their grandparents), and that's a lot of new voters.
