Decent article, doesn't go very in-depth but does outline the difficulties.
In the absence of any particular definition of what brexit means then workable and practical is my choice.
it's taken me about 20 months to get 420 posts on this thread. looks like it'll take you fewer than 20 days.
He's here to tell anyone that voted leave that they are racist because we havn't considered the border issue in Ireland. Ignoring the fact that people voted in or out for various reasons and for reasons that affect them personally. He's banging the drum on the border issue because it's close to his heart (thats okay because it's me me me) but anyone else voting for personal reasons is the villian here.
Villain?
Give me 25 reasons why you voted remain and i might think about it.
If thats what you think you should expect no answer from me then.
I'm serious.
Call me a racist then.Solutions needed for Massive youth unemployment in europe, Eu refugee camps, Fruit pickers and labourers living 6 to a caravan, Roi being a tax haven for big business yet the workers don't benefit from this. I DEMAND immediate answers or i'll stick a guilt trip on you and call you racsist
Don't forget the need for a solution to problems like the Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich, which is certainly related to the problem of RoI being a tax haven but is in truth a whole separate class of problems to itself that comes about due to unfettered trade access between EU nations. As fast as loopholes can be shut, tax lawyers and accountants come up with three more.Solutions needed for Massive youth unemployment in europe, Eu refugee camps, Fruit pickers and labourers living 6 to a caravan, Roi being a tax haven for big business yet the workers don't benefit from this.

That would only make sense if you now endorse Brexit. Otherwise, you still need to justify why you disagree with it, when disagreeing with Brexit means agreeing with staying in the EU and all its attendant problems.
So all your reasons amount to voting AGAINST rather than voting FOR.
yeh. you know there were tories campaigning for remain too, right? to be true to yourself you should have abstained.
sadly the ballot designers discarded my recommendation that the question remain the same but the options be yes and noFuck all about the border on this
My preference for the EU version of democracy is a FOR my desire to appear welcoming to 'foreigners' is a FOR. There are others that I didn't mention, like collaboration in others areas such as harmonisation and high standards in medicines. I didn't list them all because I said I wasn't going to dance to the 25 reasons tune demanded above.
the eu version of democracy is imposing governments as occurred in e.g. italy and greece and forcing reruns of referenda as in e.g. denmark
Your point is valid. I have associated myself very regrettably with some Tories, and I ought to have abstained. I saw it as an emergency to stand against Gove, Farage, Johnson, and the like.
Indeed.
i think you'll find that the brexiteers did not cause the land border on the island of ireland which is rather down to the likes of david lloyd george and winston spencer churchill.
I agree with you. Brexiters did not cause the establishment of the six counties and the death and pain it has caused. However the combination of both countries being in the EU, and the Good Friday Agreement has reduced the death and pain considerably.
