    The vote passed with a razor-thin majority of 291 votes in favour to 274 against, with 44 abstentions.

    That sounds problematic for this making it. This is a treaty revision, so the bar for this going through is unanimity of member states. While technically, having a MEP vote one way doesn’t mean that their state must have the same position, if about half of the EU is opposed, it seems very likely that this is a long way from unanimity of states.
