What's the big deal about a hard border between NI and Ireland?

The democracy deficit is that the rules and regulations would be set by the EU. They could impose very restrictive rules and we would have to follow. Also we couldn't have our own rules, whether more or less restrictive in nature.

Being forced to remain in a customs union would also mean we CAN'T do trade deals with other countries and have to impose the same tariffs as the EU TELLS US TO.
