I am well aware that the United Kingdom Government are trying to ensure that the Senate ratifies the treaty. At the moment, however, they have no lever at all to get the Senate to ratify it, whereas if the Senate thought that the treaty would not exist unless it did ratify it, at least that would give the British Government some sort of lever to get the Senate to do just that.
