United Kingdom

what was wrong with May's deal with the EU.

I'm probably missing something, but it seemed pretty reasonable to me, from a distant standpoint, and I wonder whether it's just the fury of the hard right that's putting so many people into a flap.

I also understand what's involved with the Irish backstop, but doesn't it make sense to take a pragmatic approach and avoid a return to a hard border at any cost?

Was it really all about anti-immigration? I understand that too, because we have plenty of those nutters here as well, not least in the despicable government currently in power, but the price of a no-deal seems to be awfully high just to try to stem the flow of immigrants, which experts say might not be possible anyway.
