As Brexit negotiations continue, border questions arise. Theresa May, British Prime Minister, as been very hard and conservative on this issue. May would like Britain to be able to pursue new economic and trading opportunities, without involving the EU, which is one of the main causes for Brexit. There is a huge negotiation issue occurring in regards to the Irish border. The EU would like Britain to agree to maintain open boarders with Norther Ireland, apart of Britain, and the Republic of Ireland, which will remain an independent state within the EU. Theresa May would like to close boarders and ties to any country apart of the EU. There is a great deal of individuals within the area who have homes in both areas, so a closed boarder would jeopardize jobs, family, and homes. Jeremy Corbyn, opposition labour leader, is firmly against closing the Irish boarder and believes leaving it open will be a benefit to both Nations. There are many aspects of Brexit to analyze in International Relations and Economics, but the border crisis in Ireland is one that could effect a great deal of people.
