The analysis shows that while Parliament opposes a "no-deal" Brexit, it has failed to find a majority for any specific alternative, including a customs union or a second referendum. The most likely outcome is identified as a request for a long extension from the EU.

The deal proposes a "backstop" to prevent a hard border in Ireland, potentially keeping the UK in a customs relationship with the EU. Hardline Brexiteers argue the terms surrender British sovereignty to the European Court of Justice.

Because Northern Ireland shares a 302-mile land border with the EU (Ireland), establishing customs checks is physically and politically difficult. Critics warn that any visible border infrastructure or uniformed guards could jeopardize the peace process established by the Good Friday Agreement.
