Brexiteers won the vote but lost the war

[woohoo]

It's only 3 years behind schedule at the moment unless the Brexiteers manage to torpedo the transition deal, and I suspect it will get delayed further and further as the UK gets mired in complicated talks about the NI border.

It's a small border, should be easy to get sorted. Don't you worry princess, it's all in hand.

What's the solution that is in hand? None has been presented yet.

That's just one of many thousands of details that need to be hammered out. They need to build the lorry parks for a start and Carillion has just gone bankrupt.

The negotiations for the Canada deal took 7 years. David Davis spent a whole month arguing about what was to be on the agenda for the next three months.

Canada plus plus plus will take about 10 years, like the Swiss deal.

I estimate that it will take three to four years to get to a point where the government has managed to complete its cabinet negotiations about what it actually wants.

And then it need the DUP to sign off on it, then find the additional security requirements to implement it, plus the funding for the hospitals when it all kicks off again.

...but restarting The Troubles is something that these people have voted for.

It should be removed. Invade Spain.....

Good plan, but then the problem becomes the Portuguese/French and Andorran borders.

I suppose we could carry on invading until there are no non UK borders, it would be Empire++

Who voted to restart the Troubles?
Where was the vote held?
What was the wording of the question like?
Who was eligible to vote?
Was it democratic?
Should the outcome be respected?
