    Interesting to look at the Norway / Sweden border arrangements:

    Close Sweden-Norway ties despite EU border dividing them
    No comparison, Sweden/Norway is like UK/Ireland ... there are not only EU related ties but ancient Scandinavian ties same relation of Sweden to other Scandinavian countries.

        Of course there is comparison. But there are also differences.

          Oh, and by the way, also Forbes.com but on JAN 30, 2017 @ 12:08 AM: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bertels.../#3c62a32776b0
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            London : 'we're holding a referendum to leave the Eureopean union

            EU: 'OK'

            Scotland: 'we're holding a referendum to leave the UK union'

            London: ' Oh no you're not'.

            Utter, utter undemocratic hypocrisy from London.

                Well to be fair they did let them have one a couple of years ago.

                And to be practical why should the PM actively undermine the already likely to be tortuous negotiations for BREXT? Nobody in their right mind would try and split the country and leave the EU in one go.

                Could be worse though, you could be Catalonian. Mean old Madrid won't even let them have a referendum. Nasty undemocratic Spanish oppressors.
