I understand why nobody wants a No Deal (and also why many people want a No Brexit). But I keep seeing the WA referred to as 'a rubbish' deal' or 'a terrible' deal' etc. But I'm not sure what is so dire and awful about it?
As far as I can see - it's just a setting out of the landscape for an interim period (until the end of 2020) while the various 'actual deals' needed are put in place, and businesses adjust. A maintaining of the status quo. What is actually wrong with that? Or what is it that was expected from the WA?
I'd like to leave aside the issue of the Backstop - as any discussion on the WA just seems to be about the pros and cons of the backstop, so I think it's pretty well covered already. I do understand the arguments against it (although I don't agree with them).
But there must be more to slating the WA than the Backstop?
