I'm biased, of course, but I think we're quite pragmatic. Do you forget that we're only one of 27 members of our voluntary union?
I think the cost of our shared--not diminished--sovereignty is brought into relief in this situation. And is dwarfed by the benefits.

The problem was* the Neoplan Starliner (owned by Acklams Coaches of Beverley) used by Vote Leave was 13.7 metres long, just enough space for £350 million to fit on the side
£90,000,000,000 would have required a coach far longer than the maximum length allowed of 15 metres
*for bus spotters only

When we visit Paris we normally travel with plastic food storage boxes, plastic freezer elements, an estra suitcase, and rent a place with a fridge and freezer.

You can't take out two factors:
1. It's bloody expensive to visit for most Europeans and Americans
2. The welcome cannot be said to be what it was, esp. in Dublin

That was the settlement Ireland reached at independence (the terms specifically mention "like Canada")
But Canada is big and far away. It's much harder for a small European country to be a "realm" and aim to be viewed as an independent power

or, like Canada, a Commonwealth Realm. But how would borders and border traffic between 🏴 & 🏴 🏴 be handled, or energy supply? What would this mean for the residents of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, for example? Scotland should strive for another independence referendum

Thanks Renate. Ireland is a small country. Erasmus should be quasi-compulsory for students, apprentices and academics, because we rely on our links with the world

studied in Ireland and Irish students studied in continental European member countries via #Erasmus+. For future generations need to exchange about their history and culture. Because they & we grow together only with this deep understanding of each other.

And use of the indigenous population as cheap labour, either in the colony or in the metropole.
The effect was catastrophic in terms of Ireland's people (dead, fled, or impoverished) or land (denuded of tress to build the Royal Navy, or of people for extensive grazing)
