If you want precedent we should have insisted on more than a simple majority for a no vote. Presumably, for the sake of respecting precedent, you would have been happy with this?

As far as I can see May has 2 very simple choices.
1.A hard border or
2.United Ireland.
It will be a hard border and it always was from day one.As far as I can see all this posturing is just to appease the wolly faces imo.
I'll give it about 4 weeks before some poor ******* border cop is shooted dead.
