Re: Brexit discussion
Poster Cold Soup nails the Irish problem on FT.com
Quote:
It is incompetent and irresponsible for the government to have triggered Article 50 without having first agreed within itself a clear view on what the UK wants to happen in Northern Ireland. It is disgraceful for the government (including the DUP) not to have reached that agreement in the time thereafter.
It now appears that we have not been negotiating with the EU on the issue at all - how can we have been when we don't seem to know what our own preferred outcome is? It looks much more like we have been asking the EU to come up with a solution to a problem we have created. The lack of statesmanship from the UK is astonishing.
