Quote:Yep we are indeed coming out.Well I’m not sure. I notice nobody wants to have a stab at where the border will go.
As I understand it the current situation is;
The EU wants to keep NI in the customs union, and therefore there will be no border between NI and EIRE.
But that's no good for May, as the DUP will bring down the government and Scotland will in turn demand the border be moved from between us and NI to between us and England.
So May has proposed a backstop, which seems to be we sort of leave the EU, but have some extra time to figure out how to leave the single market.
And I suspect, at the end of the day, particularly as the EU is now prepared to compromise on free movement, we’ll sort of jump on a roundabout and jump off at a later date where we got on.
So are we leaving the EU? Possibly not.
