Pains me to say this but Boris is a better statesman than you at least he realises what would have happened should we have taken your route.
Anyone in power would know exactly what a no-deal aka hard Brexit would mean. Checkpoints in Ireland and car factories et al fleeing the UK. I'm quite sure that if Seph was PM he would see the same intell as Johnson did and make the same pragmatic decision.
