    It isn't a question of legality. The UK is a signatory on the Good Friday Agreement which is a binding international treaty. It is against UK and international law to break that treaty, which is exactly what leaving without a deal does. The question is whether the EU and the UN will hold it accountable or not. Considering what other countries have gotten away with I'm not optimistic.

      Britain will skate. The UN doesn't punish white countries*.

        More to the point, Britain is a permanent member of the UN Security Council with a veto.

          But it will have no voice in the EU after 31 October and Ireland will have a very loud voice. Germany and France have said they will not abandon the Irish over Brexit. They have stood firm so far but let's see how far they are willing to go.

            The Irish? Aren't they just Britons with a more attractive accent, more gingers, and higher alcohol tolerance*?

              I would like to announce that I am not putting my name forward to be the new Prime Minister of the UK.

              It's amusing to listen to the prospective candidates fall all over themselves to deny they are going to run.

                Boris is running and making no bones about it.

                  Brexit Party projected to win the GB Euro Parliament elections. Tories and Labour to take a beating.

                        Only if we had a parliamentary system. In the American system where everyone who gives a crap about their vote is pigeonholed into two major parties, and Democrats currently represent something like a coalition of Euro-left (Bernouts), center-left (Warren/Harris), and a majority of centrists (Biden/Buttigieg), I'm pretty sure he wouldn't approve.

                            As opposed to your party, which has purged everyone but old white people.

                              Hyperbole! The former SC gov and UN Ambassador is a fine example of a contrary view.
