Well, for one, because there's a better than good chance there will be a border specifically because of the insistence on a backstop in the next few weeks. Further, it puts the UK in an intolerable situation where the default is that they lose control over Northern Ireland's trade policy. Not only does that sacrifice UK's sovereignty, but it gives the EU all the leverage in the world in the next round of negotiations. |
Yeah, these are valid points of criticism but I think it's still better than the alternatives I heard so far.
Also let's not forget, upholding the Good Friday Agreement always means that the UK has to give up some sovereignty in Northern Ireland.
