A comment in the Guardian sums it up

The EU didn't propose the backstop. It was a UK initiative.
• The current iteration of the backstop came about at the UK’s insistence.
• Its indefinite nature reflects the UK’s indefinite legal responsibility under the GFA.
• If Brexiters truly had “alternative arrangements” ready, the backstop would never take effect.

In fact, worth repeating:
The EU didn't vote to leave the UK.
The EU didn't propose the backstop. It was a UK initiative.
The EU didn't vote down the Withdrawal Agreement. The UK did.
If a hard Irish border appears, it will be entirely the UK's fault.
No ifs, no buts, it will be entirely the UK's fault.

Can the forum sustain that many pages on a single thread without any problems?

but none of that is important. The fact is that it is impossible to deliver on the result of the referendum to satisfy any majority of the public or the HoC

Another election or another referendum wont change that.

However we leave the EU there will be a bunch of unhappy people. A question without an answer shouldn't have been asked of the British public. Thats the problem.

Untrue.
There would be a majority in parliament is party politics didnt get in the way of the national interest. But as it does it makes it all a sad farce

It's not my fault you are wrong.

May's deal would have passed easily if labour didnt oppose it bc of party politics.

Creating a government of national unity would have sorted things ages ago. But nobody wanted that...bc of party politics.

no, i think radical groups will take advantage of peaceful protest. There will be peaceful protest at parliament being shut down to force a political agenda. It is crossing the line
