Its chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, continually emphasised that this backstop could only apply to Northern Ireland.

The real sticking point is the "to apply unless and until an alternative arrangement implementing another scenario is agreed,", which means we are held hostage by the EU. How inept can you get?

Re: Brexit
The Ireland border is just a pathetic scapegoat for Remainers to use.
No-one wants a hard border, no-ones going to build one, not Ireland, not Northern Ireland, not the EU, not the UK. See - how easy was that ?

What about the imports and exports, with phylosanitary certificates and potential future taxation and H&S differences?
How will they be checked?

Wrong as usual - we are still in, because of the worst Parliament since Oliver Cromwell, worst PM since Anthony Eden and a pathetic, set of self serving fools, majority of them AKA MPs.

By the same token, you'd rather we remain in the EU under their cosh and jurisdiction?

Is it fair to presume that at the last general election, like the referendum, people knew exactly what they were voting for? If yes, then the general population must be culpable at least to some extent as the current government is only in place due to the will of the people?

There's a certain irony to what you've written.
I can see where you're coming from and it's a worthwhile point. As I understand you, if the Leavers are saying that their Referendum voters knew what they were voting for the same is true of voters when voting at the General Election.
In this comparison, however, there are different forces.
The Referendum was a binary question.
The election was a different kind of question with different boundaries.
What they both had in common after the event was that the electorate didn't expect the guvmin to screw up so miserably on both fronts.

Re: Brexit
It is depressing when Sinn Fein have more principles and honesty than the Brexit/UKIP political entity. Putting yourself forward in an democratic election as self-avowed fifth columnists is just gutter politics.
Here's the Code of Conduct for Members of the European Parliament
Quote:
Members shall act solely in the public interest and conduct their work with disinterest, integrity, openness, diligence, honesty, accountability and respect for the European Parliament's reputation.

Mr Farage and his cohorts to a tee!
I wouldn't be surprised if, before long, Farage will deploys his fascist scare tactics in the upcoming EU elections.

[You shouldn't brand Farage as "fascist" unless you can prove it. And I mean, prove it.
Can you even define "Fascism"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

By the same token, I’d rather be part of a larger organisation of states working together to improve the quality of life of its citizens and economies of the participants countries, using its greater economic and political heft.

The likes of Romania are never, no matter how much money you give them, going to match Germany.
All Germany seems to do is want to IMPOSE on everybody else, the burdens it imposes upon itself. All in the name of a "level playing field". An EU country is not allowed to have different policies that might be beneficial to it.

If only that were true - back in the day we joined the EEC which was an economic community designed to achieve what you have described - unfortunately it became more political, less representative, more invasive and developed into a massive gravy train which is not what a lot of people who originally voted IN wanted hence the majority of the current NO voters are of the older generation. So it appears that there are many people who do not want to "remain in the EU under their cosh and jurisdiction" because that is what they see happening.
