yes, and the elites are progressives and globalists

find me one who isn't and you'll find one who is a 'populist'

(or simply not involved)

Of coursw

The politically disengaged do exist

So yeah I agree

PureEvilPie is a globalist

However it's becoming more split

Less disengaged

He's also young and naive as shit and buys in to all the hype, spin, and personal attacks

Which is precisely why the progressives want to reduce the voting age to have kids vote

They know they're easily led, naive, and will buy into all this shit

Kids are more idealist it's true

As you get older you become more realist

You need a balance

A little bit of idealism let's you strive for better

Anyway, I have an alternative for the Irish border issue

But the realism keeps you grounded

Republic of Ireland should leave the EU customs union and join the UK one

Funny think

It's actually makes sense economically

And since that's all the remainers care about... They should tell them to do it

Oh, I couldn't give a shit about Ireland, but it's just as reasonable as them expecting to steal Northern Ireland

It's politics again

It has no reality behind it

@Joshu If I may add, just throw your kids in Pakistan and they'd be realist soon enough. Or let em spend a day in an Iranian prison like those dumb Aussies

There are two ways to keep no border between NI and I

And one has been ruled out by the British public

Yes, and with good reason, Joshu

So

Boris's compromise was entirely reasonable given the circumstances

They have one option, leave the EU. Or they could refuse to apply border checks of course

UK had already said they'd refuse to apply border checks in the event of a no deal

Yup

EU's response was "REEEEEE!"

In that case the RI would be the ones in breach of the GFA

Because their objection to Boris's compromise is political, not practical

They don't want NI having an advantageous trading position, and they don't want NI themselves being able to decide whether to end the arrangement

These being both antithetical to EU principles of authoritarian centralised control

Did you see the recent tariff changes for after no deal?

88% of imports by value just got neutralised to 0%
