From what I can tell of how the lines are formed in the Greek parliament at the moment there's enough in favour of the terms in order to get them through, but it's going to be ugly inside and outside of parliament. There's been a call for mass protests on Wednesday, and I expect that the Greek people will come out onto the streets to make their displeasure at this perceived betrayal by Tsipras. I can't see him remaining PM for long, in fact, if I were him I'd resign as soon as this agreement makes it through parliament. It's the only honourable way out.
Then it's over to the French and German parliaments to vote, and that's where it could get a little tighter, there's plenty in Germany who are against this deal, but I don't know how the coalitions lie in Germany enough to say either way how it will go. France has the not insignificant portion of the FN who will probably vote against it, but otherwise, again, I couldn't say yes or no for certain.
