4) Great Britain stays in EEA but leaves Customs Union. Northern Ireland stays in both EEA and Customs Union. See above.
5) Great Britain gets a Canada-style deal. Northern Ireland stays in both EEA and Customs Union.
The last one will be interesting as May has again stated the UK will not be fragmented, which the last option would require.

Whilst the last option may suit some, it will definitely not suit the hard leave group and splits the UK in terms of agreements. Scotland might start clamouring for a similar arrangement as NI.

The whole EU vote has divided the UK and the Tory Party, and it looks like NI will be sacrificed in order to maintain the Tory party.
