"Oh God Jim, you want me to believe the EU is a partnership of equals? How dumb do you think I am?"
You think the UK is any better ? Westminster has not a clue about an equal Union, about team playing, absolutely no idea about consensual politics. Your society is built on the biggest guy is in charge,and the richest/poshest. 45 years of oil and gas revenue and we have nothing to show for it. I'll take my chances with europe - no offence.
"Ireland is so vehemently opposed to the UK leaving the EU because our departure will leave it marooned in the Irish Sea"
Irelands position has always been clear and supportive of the UKs decision to leave. However its not the EU that has left it in political and economic limbo with the border issue but the UK. If anything brexit is going to further integrate ireland into the EU (and maybe even irony of ironies northern ireland too) and their economy is doing quite nicely out of it currently.
