How do you think the EU are going to install a hard border on 1st November 2019 if the UK leave the EU on 31st October 2019 without a deal?   Why don't you come up with answers to your own questions?   

 

 

How do you think that the EU will preserve the integrity of their single market if we leave without a deal?

I would say at least 60% of the voting population.

I don’t think it should be anything,

 

I think referendums are a ridiculous way to set policy.

No, the EU would need to wave a magic wand to install a hard border on 1st November.

You tell me because they haven't  got a magic wand to install a hard border on 1st November 2019.

Well, let’s start with the easy bit. There will be chaos at Dover with time critical imports delayed possibly terminally. I’d get yourself a little stockpile sorted if I were you.

 

In Ireland, you’ll see border checks straight away and these will increase quickly. Have no doubt that the EU aren’t going to have a wide open land border with no supervision . Ultimately you’ll either see a physical border again, or a united  Ireland.

 

You leavers can sit in denial all you like, but if we crash out, there will be serious consequences.  I do hope you’ll be ready to shoulder the blame.

It’s a bit pointless asking someone who doesn’t believe in referendums what the threshold for success should be as it’s completely academic.

 

The general point I was making is that if you are going to have them, you need to set a high enough threshold to avoid a government enacting something which doesn’t have the support of the electorate.

It could be set up in the space of a week. Hard border does not mean a full physical border. It means the introduction, for starters, of a customs/police presence on major crossing points to check freight/livestock/produce. No doubt that could be bolstered by staff from other EU countries if they wanted. As an additional measure U.K.-origin livestock and produce could be prohibited from use/sale in Ireland or from onward travel to the EU without prior checks, basically nullifying any attempt to bring stuff in on back roads.

 

There is a lot they can do. And very quickly. They’re better prepared than we are.

 

For people it is an open border because of a longstanding U.K./Ireland agreement on freedom of movement..
