The most serious and increasingly intense disagreement is over the treatment of an integral part of our United Kingdom, and that of course is Northern Ireland.
At the time the Brexit deal was rushed through Parliament, a dissenting view warned of the potential effect it could have on disunifying the Union. However, we were assured that Northern Ireland would retain its British sovereignty and, as Michael Gove famously put it, could have the "best of both worlds".
Now, this campaign urged MPs to vote for that deal - you can forgive us for displaying some lethargy after six years of intense campaigning and a desperate desire to ensure the British government finally pulled the plug on Britain's membership of the single market and customs union.
However, it is abundantly clear that the protocol dictating rules on trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland in practice is not fit for purpose and must be replaced post haste.
