I would suggest reading the text of the agreement itself.

The rest of your post is inaccurate. Post Brexit there will be no border on the island of Ireland, just as today.

But that goes against the Brexit “take back control of our borders” so as a compromise, the customs border will be in the Irish sea between northern Ireland and rUK.

No, that isn’t accurate.

The Republic has serious concerns about the UK reneging on its solemn oath as part of the good Friday agreement, so they are voicing it.

The other 26 countries are supporting Ireland as that’s what the club does, supported its members.

The EU best interests are what its members want and keeping the four freedoms.

The boris compromise is meaningful progress. If delaying gives boris a chance to pass it, that’s what they’ll do

My understanding is that Boris has spent considerable time working this out with NI and mainland Ireland. That being said if Ireland works out a bilateral agreement with the UK would that be a violation of EU rules ?

Ireland’s concerns about the border have been made the EU concerns. So Ireland bilateral talks with the UK with the support of the other 26 countries has made sense

> The boris compromise is meaningful progress.

Not if it was not passed its its original form by parliament. it is my impression that the only document that was passed by parliament was the letwin amendment and not the agreement itself (although it is a little confusing to me so please pardon me if i have it wrong).

> Parliament treats Boris just like the Dems treat President Trump.

The British media, Labour party, and Tory remainers have been calling him "The British Donald Trump", along with accusing him of breaking the law, and acting like a dictator ... it's just part of a Globalist's DNA.

“If that is true they can simply VETO the request for delay on the grounds the request is not signed. Done”

Boris did find a unique way to get around Parliament’s extension request mandate!

But, again we see more delay by Parliament.

Hopefully The world is watching !! The integrity of the EU is very much at stake. The real test is whether the Prime Minister / Elected Head of government has ANY veto power or authority or standing at all to exit the club. OR is the membership forced upon them by the collective gang? Furthermore does Ireland in its capacity as the “weakest member of the gang” have VETO power over all 27 members nations simply by demanding minority rights? Hmmmmm. Popcorn anyone? 🍿🍿🍿

“The integrity of the EU is very much at stake.”

No doubt. Getting unanimity with Ireland would be hard enough without all the goings on in Parliament, but in the end it will get done.

I guess my gut point is that if all the other 26 nations refuse to VETO unless Ireland is fully satisfied then the EU is ruled by Tyranny of the minority?

As if The weakest link decides the value of ALL links In some cases removing or replacing the weakest link makes the other 26 links stronger. When the 27 link gets stronger then them rejoin the chain.
