as this would violate the UK's international obligations under the GFA
And you think a majority in government or the population outside of NI cares why? Let's face it, the rest of the 'United Kingdom' very much likes to entirely disregard NI, its interests, or even its existence when there isn't a good reason to remember it.

No they don't care. But breaking an international agreement and pissing of ROI is one guarantee to get blocked by anybody bar total banana republics.
ROI has links with the USA, as loads of Irish people went there in the past. So now you have the orange baboon and that.
The EU will be ultra pissed.
I am not sure the ex colonies have full trust in the UK [see the new zealand lamb debacle when the UK joined the EEC] and that won't help.Only a total moron would do that. Even May is not THAT dumb.

Different viewpoint if you lived through the IRA bombing campaign on the 'mainland'.
(Few more details it tonights Stii-yaahhl event).
Back to resignations of the brexiteurs.

There are only two options available. May's deal or No Brexit.
A No Deal is not an option as this would violate the UK's international obligations under the GFA.
The GFA could be the saving measure in all of this. May was constrained to accept a deal that is ridiculous and harms Britain without giving sovereignty and indeed renders us less in control than if we were simply members of the EU because she believes she is obliged to deliver a Brexit but cannot enter into a Brexit which falls foul of the GFA.
Ultimately, a grown up is going to have to stand up and say that the only real option is No Brexit. We don't need a referendum on this. We need leadership.
