More likely, not rejoining, but rejoining in all but name by making basically the same trade deals

This time with zero power to veto any of them, the worst of both worlds

Northern Ireland is still in the customs union, just with zero democratic representation and annoying customs forms when trying to trade with the mainland.

Granted, I like it because it means we are strategically important. A business here can do business with both the UK and the EU. We also had the UK's discounted tariffs for the USA. We're kind of a funny special economic zone.
