@Tuscan Heres my outsiders take on it, based only on the numbers and trends. First. There will be short term pain for Britain in going. But frankly with the economic and political situation of the EU overall Britain will be better off out of it in the long term. The EU has a series of slow leaks that will require more and more bailing every year and the spirit of compromise that means no hard decisions will be made to fix things.
The ridiculous "deal" the EU offered is just that. Overpriced and overvalued for what Britain gets. It all hinges on the concept that Britain will need the EU and not be able to do anything without it.
I believe once the separation happens individual deals will spring up very quickly and bargain will be had, because Britains consumption will be missed by the EU. In fact I am prepared to bet a lot of those deals already exist at the corporate level, ready to be switch on.
As for the politics. Ireland is not Britains problem. Britain is Irelands problem and they will have to work out a way of handling it to Britains satisfaction or suffer trade difficulties in a number of areas, particularly tourism.
In short. Britain will have a tough run with a hard Brexit. But that still looks like the better option to me.
