Are you an EU Commissioner?

If the majority of the House is with the legislation, then the Commission would either have to accept or be given vote of no confidence.
How can the amendment gain majority support if is not even tabled for debate?

-
by working with people in the House and Commission. My exact point in the beginning.
-
"Parliament, acting by a majority of its members, may request the Commission to submit any appropriative legislation proposal."
-
just as MPs in Westminster will speak with their colleagues and gauge support before submitting a bill to the House.
-
MPs in Westminster may informally gauge support, but it is not a requirement to first win majority before proposing amendment.
-
Not a requirement, but what's the point in proposing it if you don't have majority support?
-
You propose amendments to debate it in order to win majority support. Why else would you table amendments for debate?
-
..to have it pass. Very rarely would an MP just present a bill on their own and see the House debate it then dismiss it.
-
Private Members Bills are hardly ever accepted and often rejected by government whip.
