Re Brexit, that is.

My predictions
  • Cameron does resign (already confirmed he will according to this morning's news) leaving the Conservatives running the country but in a mess.
  • Renewed calls for Scottish and Welsh independence, union of N&S Ireland, etc. - already started. No doubt Cornwall will soon follow.
  • Calls for London to become a separate state and remain in the EU - not a snowball's chance in hell, but it's already being talked up.
  • UKIP realise they don't actually have a coherent strategy post winning, apart from most of their actual politicians wanting to dump Farage with extreme prejudice.
  • The pound declines in value but probably comes up again gradually, but never fully recovers.
  • A couple of years of negotiations then a slow withdrawal process over several more years before Britain actually leaves the EU.
Probably a lot I've missed here, but it's going to be an interesting and scary ride.

There may be wide support, as they would be absorbed into Ireland, and remain in the EU.

Not sure the Unionists would go for it.

I did read that the two major Unionist parties were split on Brexit, but I guess that is not relevant in terms of reunification.
