Here's the core of Britain's problem and it's a simple negotiating dillema:
The ball is staying in Britain's court. Basically, May's negotiating on behalf of the EU instead of the UK by trying to force her country into a completely unacceptable deal. And, furthermore, it's the EU asking a concession from Britain that's causing the hold up. So, why aren't they just stripping the unacceptable part of May's deal out (which is really just the idea that the UK can't quite), passing that and sending it back to the EU with a message that there will be a hard Irish border if they don't accept it.
That puts the onus back on Europe instead of May trying to twist the arms of the people who correctly see that portion of the deal as a non-starter. And instead of the EU sitting back smugly and letting May carry their water, they'll have to deal with the situation on their end instead and actually have to grapple with whether they think this obnoxious backstop is worth it.
There, I just solved everyone's problems. Your welcome. |
How would that solve anything? The EU would never accept this "new deal".
The real problem is that the british government ,who negotiated the deal with EU, has no factual majority in the parlament, the hardcore tory brexitters are basically their own party on that particular matter.
The only way I see to avoid a hard Brexit is to extend Article 50 by about two years, a new election in the UK, and a new government formed by Tories and Labor, which will then negotiate a new deal with the EU.

Or a referendum on May's withdrawal deal vs remaining which would probably be quicker as it would require no extra negotiations.
If we leave then at least we have a basis to work from and if we remain then we can actually concentrate on governing the Country and putting some proper investment into leave voting areas.
