The bribes are in, the politicians are paid off to pass it. The only obstacle is in europe where there has sprung up resistance to it because it screws the common man over there too. Here, the media tells us all is well and the tpp is the greatest thing since the bank bailout.
TTIP was supported by the UK, but they are withdrawing from the EU, so not sure how much influence they will have. France is very anti TTIP so I'm not sure this will go ahead. The EU is going cold on the idea. The biggest concern seems to be large companies being able to take a government to court for lost revenue if they enact a law that harms their profits (or potential profits). That could be anything from regulations on how cigarettes are sold/marketed to environmental protections. So in Europe there has been widespread protest across the political spectrum.
The bad news is that I would expect the UK to embrace TTIP (or something similar) because following Brexit it will need new trade deals.
