Why on earth should the IRA dictate what this country can and cannot do?  |
From a soft Brexiter's viewpoint, if the UK took an approach like Norway and Switzerland we wouldn't be in this mess.
Alternatively, from a no-deal Brexiter's viewpoint, the Government could have decided that it was better to review a 20-year old treaty (The Good Friday Agreement) and not a 20-week-old treaty (Withdrawal Agreement). It would have won the moral agreement (eg why is the EU interfering in a sovereign nation) if it had done the former and not the latter. The Government has failed no-deal Brexiters as it's too late for such a situation.
