I would not be surprised if any and all of these factors result in Parliament ignoring the results or simply "failing to consider/pass the act in question" and hoping it all goes away.

It's one of those things where nobody that isn't an angry white idiot wants it and the only reason it was allowed to come to a vote was because they thought the outcome was assured.
