    Maybe lets use the opportunity to flip the script. Reunite Ireland and offer Scotland to join, creating the United Republic of Ireland and Scotland.

    Then demand the UK to change it’s name to Kingdom of England and Wales as a prerequisite to any negotiations with the EU

    Much like the rest of the UK then lmao

    It’s a complete pisstake that a referendum with such slim a majority result, held immediately after the EU refugee crisis when anti-EU sentiment was at an all-time high both in the UK and elsewhere, has caused so much upheaval.

    The likes of France and the Netherlands actually had greater anti-EU sentiment at the time than the UK had. Fortunately for them, their leaders weren’t reckless morons like David Cameron was.
