You aren't realizing the dynamic here.

How ironic.

Unless the Republic get what they want its "no deal" - "no deal" will bring down the UK government way before its implemented as "no deal". Hence the republic really do hold all the cards because they need to accept what May offers - if they don't then May is dead.

British people won't take too kindly to Irish making threats like this. If the Irish actually did succeed in causing the Government problems during the UK's negotiation then I can see the British people rallying behind the Government out of Patriotism alone.

It's quite cute how you pretend Ireland is anything other than a tiny, unimportant, uninfluential country, but please don't start believing your own jokes.
