Thanks for your detailed response. I am by no means an expert on all things Brexit. From what I understand May would brook no variation to her deal which flew in the face of the internal opposition from the ERG. Late last year she wasted 4-8 weeks when she did nothing to try to get a deal done.
Again with respect to the Irish border any physical border will potentially jeopardise the Good Friday accord, The consequence of that is the potential for the conflict to be re-ignited.
Scotland voted to stay in the EU.
Obviously, Corbyn and Labour played politics with the issue. However, May was the PM, it was her responsibility to get the legislation through the Commons.
The Conservative Party is deeply divided and could face a potential split depending on who is elected the PM in the next few weeks. Labour is also divided on the issue. Depending on when the next general election is held it is likely that both major parties will have a drop in their vote. I would expect the SNP to increase their vote in Scotland. Farage and his rabble will get votes but the UK have a first past the post system so it is hard to see how his party could win enough seats to form government. A party needs to win 326 seats to have a majority.
One other possible fallout will be that the Scottish parliament pushes for a second independence referendum.
One final point with respect to monitoring of movements, in the discussions I have heard there was talk about using technology that as yet does not exist.
