It may be the best option, though.
The whole Ireland problem seems like a pretty big deal. Whole lotta tanks and bombs and bombs and guns historically associated with dividing Ireland. It doesn't mean that's going to happen again, but Brexit necessarily imposes import/export BS onto the island again... I've not heard anyone talk about it thinking that will just resolve itself.
I doubt very much we'll see a return to war, whatever happens with Brexit. The Ireland problem is a problem, but I suspect that if the EU enforce a hard border between UK and RoI, then Ireland will simply leave the EU. They came close in the past, it took two referenda if I recall correctly.
