I have just sent to EU27 a draft Political Declaration on the Future Relationship between EU...

Good summary. Yes the Political Agreement is passed on a consensus 'vote' (basically a show of hands). What this actually also means is that any veto is not counted into the 'vote'. So it's 99% there in reality.
