For me, the May deal was enough ( and I said so at the time), although I could appreciate the backstop issues.

If this deal somehow gets around all of that and more, then it has to fly.

Bottom line is we will get nothing better, ever. It’s this or no deal.

But the remainers plan is to keep the nation in limbo ad infinitum, until we stay. Rejecting this deal, then Continually rejecting no deal, when there isn’t a deal apart from this deal, on the table, ........for ever.
The central point is with the backstop in place, it is job done, as far as Ireland is concerned. No future deals need to be done. That is why any interim(check your dictionary) "deal" must not include it. It is designed solely to prevent the possibility of future deals.

The Irish goal was to get the border into a legally binding withdrawal agreement – Dublin’s point of maximum leverage – rather than future trade relations, when Dublin would struggle to be heard.
