Again? This is the first time you've asked the question.
If Boris was silly enough to sign up to this, he should resign and call an election as he was elected on the basis of an oven-ready deal that doesn't exist. The new Prime Minister should then raise this point via the disputes committee whilst seeking an extension to allow enough time to get a good deal and not making mess-ups like this one.
A competent Leave Government could have tackled matters in a better way:
Quote:
A declaration of intent in 2016 to leave the EU at the end of the budget period on 31 December 2020, or possibly even later, would have given a breathing space in which to prepare. Above all, the government would have had to level with the public about what was to come.
There would have been an outcry. The Northern Ireland peace process was very much an international effort and there would have been widespread disapproval of anything that threatened it. Even so, the UK government could have constructed a reasonable argument to say that the Good Friday Agreement is over 20 years old and was concluded in very different circumstances. It would be unconscionable for such a treaty to prevent a sovereign nation from leaving a trading bloc when its people had expressed their wish to do so through a democratic vote. There would have been complaints about the UK breaching a treaty but the government could have put forward a moral case for doing so. It would not have convinced everyone but it would have been good enough for many.
