How about we do a merger with the Republic of Ireland?

Then don't enforce the hard border.

Meaning it's a soft underbelly for EU (and other) immigration into the UK?
Why have Brexit at all then?

[WTFH]

Hard brexit and a hard border between RoI and NI. Then don't enforce the hard border. What's the EU going to do, kick out RoI? Sorted.

You mean have freedom of movement of goods, services and people between the UK and EU?

[Old Greg]

Because most of them would instigate a break up of the UK. If the EU supports a break up of the UK then it should come out and say it, and equally support the break up of Spain and France.

Leaving the EU but remaining in the customs union and single market would respect the referendum result while preserving the UK union and avoiding a hard border on Ireland.

It would anger the disaster capitalists and gammons of course.

Not to mention cause the least impact in terms of the economy.
But this debate is not about rationalism, its about the ideology and hidden agendas of the ultra-Brexiters

Not to mention that the EU have excluded that option unless of course we take free movement of people as well.

We should agree to free movement of people provided each EU citizen is registered and has private health insurance for 3 years.
Problem solved using the EU's own rules.

I don't think you're in the wrong thread

Looking on the Wiki page for the good Friday agreement :
Good Friday Agreement - Wikipedia

It says: "the majority of the people of the island of Ireland, wished to bring about a united Ireland". What better way to achieve this than to merge the whole lot with Great Britain.
