The deal isn't satisfactory at all, as it offers no legally binding way for the UK to decide to leave without the EU's permission. The EU could string out border and trade discussions for years and the EU would be defacto in the EU but without a vote.

David Cameron tried to discuss reform with the EU before the referendum, but was rebuffed.

Of course it does. The UK only has to guarantee they won't do anything that means "hard border in Ireland".

They choose not to guarantee that.
