Given human nature and the politics involved, I'd bet on the worst case scenario, but I can't figure out which one is actually worst.

Carry On Regardless (none / 0)
In this particular case it might be a case of Scotland and N. Ireland declining to follow England over the cliff having taken the time to view the sheer drop below. England, having had its hissy fit at losing its pre-eminent place in the world, is going to carry on regardless.  Indeed Carry On Regardless feels like the name of the movie.

Surely leaving the UK in face of a hostile Tory government is not easier than leaving the EU in face of a hostile union?
At least the UK doesn't need to establish a new currency.

The whole point of this post is that it may not be necessary for Scotland and N. Ireland to leave the UK in order to stay in the EU.
