BREXIT

[mtread]

It might respect the Good Friday agreement but it’s never going to fully satisfy the two countries in this Union that voted to REMAIN.
Further the fact is that all it achieves is that we become a rule taker, as opposed to a rule maker.  We would have to give up sovereignty.The BREXITEERS, who were for this during the campaign, now turn it on their head and jump on that simple fact.  So you just end up in the same log jam.
I don’t know what the immigration /residency concessions would be as freedom of movement is in fact a non-issue.

It won't satisfy lots of people on all sides and in all configurations. Nothing will. It's a compromise. Yes we become a rule taker, but can exit any time in the future without going through this palaver. Freedom of movement would be part of the deal, but not indefinite residency.
As said, it's not what I want, but it's what I can see coming.
