The Donald is loving this, more power to his campaign esp with Americans who can't find Europe on a map.
So the end of the UK

i wonder if we'll see a rise of a pro-EU political party (an anti-ukip)

The Lib Dems could well rebrand themselves, and use this to take back vote share.

Scotland's first minister has said a second independence referendum is "highly likely" after the UK voted to leave the EU.
Nicola Sturgeon said it was "democratically unacceptable" that Scotland faced the prospect of being taken out of the EU against its will.
She said the Scottish government would begin preparing legislation to enable another independence vote.

She can convince them all she likes. Doesn't mean one will happen if whoever if PM refuses it. Personally I think she will sit on it. She has an opportunity to make it very hard when negotiations come to the table about us leaving the EU as the Scotiah Parliment will have to be included. At this point if she creates a big fuss about Scotland being stung on the UK leaving the EU and Scotland being better off in it ect she is likely to be able to get the swing she needs for an independent Scotland and we are more likely to grant them another referendum just so it makes our exit all the easier
So either way Scotland leaves the UK

If they want to adopt the Euro being accepted won't be a problem. Their choice will be to keep the Scottish pound or not.

If it wasn't for bloody Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, I'd move somewhere else. The south of France would have been lovely.

The UK of England and Wales will go on. Anything more is less certain.

Lets hope so as they're a drain on the UK. We'd save billions in handouts and they are welcome to take in the 350,000 migrants instead of the 13,000 that moved to Scotland last year.

Certainly less keen on one day returning to the UK after this. Just astounded tbh
The UK has a real opportunity to solve ALL of its constitutional issues now. The EU is done. Will Scotland go? Probably, but I don't think it will be as clear cut as expected. But it's up to them. Wales has a greed with England and will remain united with us. Northern Ireland has a chance to either stay with the UK, join the Republic of Ireland, or go fully independent.
Fascinating stuff.

Wait and see over the next 5 years or so. The weather would have to improve significantly to lure me back and I don't see this decision impacting that, then the cost of living would have to fall by 15 to 20%.
