Am I confused ! All this talk of a sea board and the DUP, aren't they just as against a boarder on the island of Ireland ? if so they have two options, leave light and stay in the customs union or we just have a second vote and remain, well there is a third a united Ireland, but then we're back to a sea boarder.
If we leave with no deal they will have to have a board on the island of Ireland as we have to be able to count everything in and out of the country to comply with WTO or we just open the boards and have totally free trade with everybody (chlorinated chicken etc)
That's my very limited understanding of it anyway.
The DUP would happily cut along the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, before towing Northern Ireland across the Irish Sea in order to crash it into the beach on the other side.
A border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK is, to the DUP, an existential threat. A border between Northern Ireland and Ireland is something they might even welcome.
