Petition Negotiate a post Brexit backstop that applies to Northern Ireland and Scotland
Whilst against the UK leaving the EU, to at least secure a deal and an orderly exit, and because majorities in both countries voted to remain in the EU, the UK should negotiate a backstop that applies to NI and Scotland in which both countries remain in the Customs Union and Single Market.
