The whole thing seems to be more complicated than what a lot of people realised, apparent solutions to various issues only serve to be objectionable to others.

NI is already treated differently to the rest of the U.K.
The 1967 Abortion Act and the 2013 Defamation Act do not apply in Northern Ireland, and there are quite a few laws that are different (much like Scotland).

Liam Fox has said leaving the European Union without a deal will be "survivable".
The international trade secretary told Sophy Ridge on Sunday that it would not be in Britain's best interest to leave without a deal in place with the European Union, and admitted it could put the economy "into a position of unnecessary turmoil".
He said: "We would be able to deal with that scenario but it wouldn't be in our interest to go there.
"It seems to me we have got to guard against two things. One is an irrational pessimism that says that everything will be a catastrophe and irrational optimism which says everything will be okay.
"The truth lies between the two."
"It has always seemed to me a bit strange that people would say 'well we don't need to worry about having a future trade deal with Europe, we can operate on WTO terms', while at the same time saying we should have a free trade agreement with the United States to get away from WTO rules. We have to be consistent."
