"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.

"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."

The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

    You are assuming everything will stay exactly the same and the English are unable to make laws and have nothing but chaos when they leave the EU and their existing laws are 'gone'. I think they can manage it. Do not think so huh? Well you can go re-read the summary and see how the process works. They should be arguing how to do this. They are required to. It is not an easy problem to crack.

    They also have huge amounts of capital and land. They are only second in the EU to Germany in how much they own. They have all of the cards and are acting like they are the losers. The EU needs England way more than England needs them. The EU is going to act pouty and make this as hard as possible because the knew who was funding a lot of their pet programs.

    Yes it will be 'scary'. But I 100% promise you they will figure it out. Even if the EU decides to pout like a scorned school girl.
