Inevitably the DUP will realise that they are on the other side of the UK border, and in effect part of a united ireland. The DUP can't let that stand,so you are both right - this could bring down the tories.
Also, no western nation has customs checks within its own borders, a soft irish border means that for the UK if we brexit.
This madness needs to stop.
No could about it, it will bring down the tories. The party is split like it always has been on Europe. Labour are also split on Europe. If we end up remaining in the EU then the Eurosceptic backbenchers in the tories will put forward a Eurosceptic leader like Mogg and this issue will keep reappearing.
I watch Question Time every week and even before we got the referendum in 2016, nearly every question by a member of the audience each week was about the EU and Britain's membership or when would we get a referendum? etc and it's still going on today. I think Britain has always been a bit Eurosceptic of the EU and maybe it's because we are an island on our own and not landlocked with the rest of mainland Europe. It would be interesting to see how many voters who voted remain would like us to join the Euro or the Schengen zone because I don't think it would be many.
Look what Macron said if France was offered a referendum on the membership of the EU they would have probably voted Leave too.
What I find very interesting though is majority of people who voted Yes back in 1975 voted to Leave in 2016. Is it because they disliked how it has evolved?
