The Official EU results thread

[BlasterBates]

The fact is the US congress won't approve any deal with the UK if the UK doesn't come to an agreement with Ireland. Ireland is a signatory to the Good Friday Agreement and if they say it's been broken then bye bye US deal.

[WTFH]

Really??????

You have made one massive unjustifiable leap, ( I was going to say reasoning but you clearly don't have any).

Is it unjustified to say that enforcing a border in Ireland could reignite The Troubles?

No.

Please prove otherwise.

Please explain, in detail with references, how a hard Brexit reignited the troubles.

By enforcing the border between the UK and Ireland, in breach of the GFA and years of effort at maintaining peace.

What is the Good Friday Agreement, why was it drawn up in 1998 and did the Anglo-Irish deal bring peace to Northern Ireland?

There is always a solution to the Irish border.

Please explain in detail with references your proposed solution to the Irish border. I've asked so many times, but rather than providing one the only response is "it's easy" and "there's always a solution"

Please explain, in detail with references, why a hard border has no border solution in Ireland

Please explain, with detailed reference to English grammar and sentence structure, what you actually meant in the above.

That is up to the USA.

The only important thing is the the UK leaves NOW. Unless the UK can stay that is. But it must be done quickly.

[BlasterBates]

I've no doubt the Brexiteers will argue that the US needs the UK more than the UK needs the US and therefore the US congress will cave.

No.

Enforcing a border would probably kick the troubles off again. It must not happen.

Why must it be done quickly? What are the tangible benefits to doing it quickly, compared to doing it slowly and carefully?

It has to be done while there is still a chance of mustering a majority for Leave or at least pointing to a majority in the recent past. Their majority is slowly disappearing. If they can just get out now they might be able to head off the much feared Remain resurgence.

The uncertainty is very damaging to the UK. And slightly damaging to the EU.

The grammar and sentence structure we're fine. It was just a semantic mess.

So you don't believe in democracy?
