I'm a remainer. May I enquire please, what is 'it', and in your answer please include what is your proposal for maintaining the international peace treaty in Northern Ireland which ended a thirty year war, neatly solved 400 years of discord, took ten years to negotiate and was ratified by 71% and 94% referendum majorities on both sides of the border?
Thats a sad and unfortunate situation.. I dont see any way that a hard Brexit can avoid a hard border unless NI joins a united Ireland. If in the worst case scenario a border happens I would hope the relevant parties do not take up arms again as that would be tragic.
In my view its either a hard brexit and we endure 2 years of econimic slowdown before new trade kicks in and we start to grow again (with Europe too because we will eventually trade efficiently again) without outside influence or we stay in , properly in. That means we join the Euro, the ECB takes over our banking and we become part of the federal superstate that Europe is going to be in the next few years and we take all the benefits and costs that come with that.
