This is factually incorrect. 676,966 people voted in Northern Ireland to support the GFA. In Eire, 1,442,583 people voted to amend the state constitution to comply with the GFA. Even combined, the total number of votes come nowhere near the biggest and most popular UK vote of 17.4 million to Leave the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one who speaks like fascist - not allowing the population to have a say - spoken like a true totalitarian. When will the people have a chance to vote on what has been decided for them? Or are you for the establishment of the rich to take away all chance of the poor workers to comment on what the state thinks is right for them. You are as bad as those who you chastise!!! What a hypocrite! 2 hours ago, apelike said: I think democracy is about letting people decide how they wish to vote and just like the law, ignorance is no defence. In any-case Cameron spent £9 billion on leafleting all households explaining the situation. £9 billion - is that part of the £350M a week we will be spending on the NHS? 2 hours ago, apelike said: I think democracy is about letting people decide how they wish to vote and just like the law, ignorance is no defence.

Or is the ex-Brexit minister wrong (see my sig)? 2 hours ago, Car Boot said: The EU thinks the GFA should be ignored because it wants to enforce a hard border on Ireland. Nobody else wants it, just the EU. Nope - we've been through this before - Mrs May wants a hard border, the EU doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps a typo so well spotted. Quote Isn't democracy having the chance to change your mind? Or is the ex-Brexit minister wrong (see my sig)? Yes but in our democracy its parliament that will decide if they will give you that chance, and until they do then you will just have to keep on hoping.

I think you have got that wrong, its the 'no deal' option that will force a hard border, May is doing her best to avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Parliament decides that Brexit is a really stupid idea and decide to cancel it, you will be cool with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already stated before that I will accept parliaments decision if they decide to do that so yes, however I very much doubt that will be the case.

But there does not have to be a hard border as there is nothing in international law that states there must be a border at all. If it really comes down to having one then it it could just be a simple border for customs goods checks only and not for people.
