I think he’s arguing (at least I would) that’s it’s not a slippery slope as much as a ladder upwards where you decide to take a next step; the country won’t “slip” into anything as they’ll take a considered decision on any next steps.

Well sure - but when you are at the bottom & you look back up at the ladder you may (rightly) think "That was a slippery slope"
But I think I’m simply saying it’s the slippery slope fallacy. It might have seemed a slippery slope in hindsight, but in reality the people (via parliament) changed its mind or took a different path later down the line.
