> I am. What’s your point ?

Then you know that Northern Ireland was a more important issue than EU membership and that remains true. Hence all the hoops jumped through for the Northern Irish Agreement after Brexit.

> I know Ireland likes the riches that come with EU membership. They don’t want to return to being a poor country.

What you're suggesting is risking descent into civil war.

> It would be a time zone difference, not a partition. Let’s not used such loaded language.

If you don't know why I'm using the term partition and why it would be the term immediately applied to this idea, you don't know enough to how know how little you understand this issue.

You condescension is off the scales.

Anyway, in this wild hypothetical, if you left the EU over a time zone difference, it would be funny to watch from just over the other side of the British Isles. It would be almost as ridiculous as Brexit
