It's time for Leo & Co along with the other in this thread to realize just HOW MUCH in deep shit Ireland is in with regards to no deal ...  

Leo Varadkar is DELUSIONAL if he thinks it's over once Britain crashes out and that he'll see an easy path to reunification ...  

1. What is Ireland going to do about potentially TENS OF BILLIONS WORTH of SMUGGLED GOODS making it's way into the EU from the UK ? 

2. The UK will gain a MASSIVE economic competitive advantage if they're allowed to import cheaper goods compared to EU member states in the case of an open Irish border ... 

3. Have the EU made ANY GUARANTEES to Leo that they WILL NOT boot Ireland out of the single market and customs union in the case where no border is installed with Northern Ireland ? 

In ANY of the cases, Leo and Ireland will stand to lose SOMETHING FOREVER! No deal isn't as bad as some people make it out to be as long as the EU remains sympathetic to smuggling so the UK will either take the EU or Ireland down with them because it may as well be a test of *solidarity* ... (as long as the UK serves as an entry point to the EU market they are perfectly content with serving as a de facto middleman for other countries to flood cheap goods inside the EU)

Does Ireland have enough *solidarity* with the EU to toss aside the GFA for the SM/CU or will they toss aside the SM/CU to uphold the GFA ? To be, or not be that is the question ...
