If the UK leaves, forms it’s own trade pacts (old commonwealth, US, etc.,) and comes out of the storm relatively intact, it would set a precedent the EU would find terrifying. No doubt, a Brexit would encourage other EU nations to leave.

Remainer’s plans are to make Brexit so painful that any other EU country would think twice about leaving.

Really and frankly what’s the difference. A conservative party presided over the persecution of parents by the DHS and over Robinson’s persecution, and multiple rapes of white women by Muslims.

The Remainers used every trick they could use to delay Brexit, but once Boris gets his majority, they will have nothing left.

And since Ireland is in the EU, if Britain drops out, EU wants to impose a “hard border” with Ireland, essentially cutting off a free trade zone that has existed forever, and imposing taxes, fees, and paperwork.

I don't see why this is such a hard point - it seems that the EU are the ones wanting to force a hard border, the UK doesn't care nearly as much. So, the EU can do something like many other borders - it's a one-sided wall, they can build and enforce it. The UK doesn't have to be part of the wall if they don't want to. Just like the US-Mexico border - We want a proper wall, Mexico is perfectly fine with nothing. Hence it's 95% a US project. Mexico mans a few crossing checkpoints, but that's it.

On the contrary, it's the EU which insists that the Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland border should remain open, in order to preserve the integrity of the Good Friday Agreement, which ended 30 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland.

It's the necessity of reconciling this with the inevitability that the UK after Brexit will be outside the EU customs union which has led to the ludicrously complex, and probably unenforceable compromise of an invisible customs barrier in the Irish Sea.

Yes, it is complicated beyond my trivial explanation, the EU wants the border placed between Northern Ireland and the rest of Britain, and Britain of course objects to that, but you are right it is because of NOT wanting to put the border at the actual border because of other treaties.

But the EU will not accept a non-border.
