I believe Boris will be remembered as a great negotiator. NI voted against #brexit overall so they got their wish. But the british patriots get their country back. Unlike May’s Follies, which were all #BRINO, this deal removes all EU power over England, Scotland, and Wales including smarmy, Brussels regulators and courts who expected any deal to leave them in effective control of the UK. May colluded with EU overlords to insure no Brexit ever happens. Every mention of “delay” “extension” really decodes as bypassing the 2016 vote in desperate hopes of a shift in new voters, brainwashed to want Socialism and to fear Nationalism plus “New Citizens” who are are not from the UK nor share its ideals that could overturn the referendum eventually.
Soros has spent a bundle on this One EU, leading to One World government. Between Brexit and Trump, his dreams are dying and money wasted.
As an Irish American I hope the North will decide to reunite with Eire but also understand the sentiments of the prods who in this deal have a framework to end the agreement’s temporary EU like customs arrangements. After Independence they will want to leave the EU too, as one or two irish states.
the only difference between this plan and May’s is that the backstop is limited to Northern Ireland only.
That was the initial May plan before it was vetoed by the DUP. But with the DUP no longer a factor, there is more chance for a deal.
Great negotiator? Conceding to the other party on virtually every point isn't the usual definition of great negotiation. Persuading your own constituency that in doing so you've nonetheless 'won' would be the mark of an able magician, not quite the same as a great negotiator.
