    Scotland voted to remain not too long ago. I believe they should give it a few more years before revisiting that question. Northern Ireland may indeed rejoin the Republic at some point in the future, if current trends continue. However, it will likely still take time for the apparent majority to emerge there. My personal guess is that I might see a united Ireland but my children will most likely see it within their lifetimes. Wales? Well, it’s Wales and therefore it’s full of English people to begin with, so…

        While true, there’s no way Scotland would get into the EU any time soon as an independent country. It would be a drawn out process and some member country would inevitably disagree for some reason or another.

      Yeah. Let’s just wait til we’re really in the shit and the UK government has trashed everything good about our country, THEN have a referendum. Awesome plan.

      Scotland voted remain by a slim margin, 11 years ago, before Brexit, and a lot of the people that voted to remain have since died of old age.
