Irish reunification when?

Irish reunification when?
That's less likely than America taking Britain's position in the EU.

We live in interesting times. If you asked someone two years ago if Britain would leave the EU, they would probably scoff at you 90% of the time.

If England splits from the EU, NI has a clear reason to sever ties and reunite with Ireland. I said the above statement half-jokingly (it probably won't get that bad) but the chance for Irish reunification is higher than ever.



Up next, a referendum on whether the official spelling is 'whiskey' or 'whisky'.

Wouldn't be a major loss. The UK would literally have fewer tribals and bigots.

It's hardly disgraceful. Scotland had their say. And today all of the UK, including Scotland had their say too.
The nation doesn't run for Scotland's benefit.

You have to remember that a major reason people might have voted to not go independent was because of how long it could have taken to get back into the EU. I don't think its a good idea to split off even more than we are however, Scotland has been part of the united kingdom for long enough that we aren't just Scotland anymore, I feel more british

America obviously woun't join the EU, but Canada might. (Well, okay, still unlikely, but they have an extremely close relationship and Canada is considered a semi-member of the European Space Agency.)

I'm glad that the UK voted to leave the EU.

At the end of the day, the EU is a mess. I certainly wouldn't want to pay the kinds of dues that the UK did, only to have little sovereignty to speak of.


I would go with "stay", but I really don't live in the UK soo...

Of course many scots voted because of that reason.
But it's unfair to suggest, as Doughboy was, that the rest of the UK owes it to those Scottish people to stay in the EU. This is a union, and we all get our say. And unfortunately our views don't always align. But that's no reason to throw all your toys out of the pram.

I fully agree with your sentiment. I don't want Scotland to leave the UK, and I didn't want them to leave when they voted in 2014.
We're stronger as a whole. And, I have to say, I think Scotland is naive to think they would get straight back into the EU, and that the EU would entirely replace all the support and security they get from being in the UK.

The UK has just made a risky choice, full of unknowns. It would be preposterous for Scotland to then take an even bigger risk.

GG GBP, we'll see how long the free fall goes on for.

good job uk u forgeted up

Why did Scotland vote to remain? don't they already want to be their own country? what are they doing?

Why did Scotland vote to remain?

because they want to be in the EU? I thought that was obvious lol

Being in the EU =/= Not being your own country
