EU if there is a MEP vote the Brexit party will rise from the ashes led by Farage i.e. Back to square one.........
Also they could be more popular than UKIP......

Ha ha.

I wonder if we gave the other 27 countries in the EU a vote on whether the UK should be allowed to stay in the EU, what would they say.

I reckon at least half would probably want us to leave just to get Nigel Farage out of their hairlol
I honestly don't know why they don't throw us out, we as a Country have never really truly got behind the idea as anything other than a trade block.
They want to move past that so it might be a lot easier for them to go along without the UK in the long run

I think the answer to that is financial. But I think they're also now starting to ask whether our kind donations are actually worth it.
 
But doesn't being in the customs union cover the movement of goods too? I thought that Northern Ireland being in the single market in addition to the customs union was purely to allow freedom of movement across the border. Am I over simplifying things?. Is it more than this?
'The European Union's Single Market is perhaps the most ambitious type of trade co-operation. That's because as well as eliminating tariffs, quotas or taxes on trade, it also includes the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. Also, the Single Market strives to remove so-called "non-tariff barriers" - different rules on packaging, safety and standards and many others are abolished and the same rules and regulations apply across the area.'

As I've already said the CTA provides for the free movement of people already.

That's enough of me answering your questions. Google is your friend if you need any more info.

Does anyone actually knows what the details of what the deal is that the MPs don't like?
You know like a bullet points of it all?

Because I'm pretty sure 90% of people have no idea.

There’s a couple of issues revolving:
Backstop: if a trade deal can’t be agreed by the end of the transitional period (2020) the backstop kicks in to prevent a hard border. Extra checks will be in place on goods leaving NI to England which the DUP don’t like. To end the backstop a committee from both sides will be setup to agree to end it. But it’s known the EU won’t because the deal is beneficial to them

Future Trade Agreement: must consist on a joint consensus of working towards the same goal, a single customs territory.

Fisheries: the EU can only apply tariffs to British caught fish being imported to them unless they have access to our waters

Governance: the final withdrawal agreement, after the transitional period ends would be decided by a committee to manage any disputes. If anything is disputed relating to EU law then this goes back to the ECJ arbitration panel and they have the final say.
