In fact Scotland has always wanted t break away right from the nineties on-wards because the general feeling is that they are the ones who have contributed much more but gt lot less. We can see how most of the inventions came from Scotland but it is England that gets the name and fame. This seems like a good opportunity for them to take that final step and even if it does not happen immediately , it may happen at sometimes in the near future !

Brexit could also also change the United Kingdom in a more fundamental way. United Kingdom is made up of Four Countries. They are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. But, now Britain on its way out of the EU, there is a danger, it won't stay United for very long.

 UK Votes for Brexit in a shocking development ...

Now many of the voters who actually voted to break away from the EU are doing a rethink , apparently regretting their decision to vote  for Brexit. There is also a growing unease because the EU has been pressurising them to leave right away instead of waiting for two months as it was earlier decided by UK. I have a feeling that many were carried away and voted without actually thinking of the implications and the ground realities ,that such a situation would lead to !

I read a news item in Hindu that, the effects of Brexit will take a long time to show up. In this connection some experts are of the opinion that this time can be utilized for rebuilding Britain. I wait for the final outcome.

True...it will not take much for Ireland to break away from the Kingdom, and Scotland has already started thinking towards its exit from the Kingdom as it seriously wants to remain with the EU.

In fact this move from Britain which they are probably already regretting, has set many other things in motion with other countries doing a rethink on the whole EU issue. I am not sure if that is a positive turn of events or not ! I also feel that the Islamic terrorism and ISIS has also had a major impact on this. Germany and France are facing severe problems after giving assylum to Syrian refugees . Some of those with terror links have started their operations from there and may further go into more dangerous activities once they consolidate their position within the country and yo can never say who is a terrorist and who is not.

United Kingdom is now being called Disunited Kingdom. But Scotland will not be able to declare independence from UK. EU has refused to accept them.

Yes I think it is fear of terrorism and the insurgence of ISIS associates under the guise of Syrian refugees that have infiltrated Germany and France in large numbers is what may have spurred the decision of withdrawing from the EU. London bombings in 2005 and subsequent acts of terrorism now and then, the recent acts of terrorism in Brussels, followed by Istanbul etc. it is very much evident that London is a very sensitive city as far as such incidents are concerned. So I think they wan to close their doors tightly before the immigrants turn their way towards UK as soon as possible> Angela Merkel must already be regretting her chivalry and generosity she showed to the Syrians!

But I have a feeling they are already regretting the move because almost al the parlimenterians were apparently against the move and so o nearly half of the population then , which has increased now because many who voted for are doing a rethink ! If they and the EU tighten their immigration laws things may not be so bad.In fact, being with the EU, Switzerland has still managed to maintain its identity and is extremely strict with its immigration laws , also has been trouble free so far !

Yes, I read that in the news, especially the young ones do not want the breakup to happen. The trouble with UK is that they rested on their past laurels for too long and let things get out of their hands. Proportionately, the  number or productive immigrant  workers far exceeds their own British workers and they let it happen due to their own laidback attitude. But the Switzerland managed to keep the reigns of all jobs in their own hands by working hard. That is teh difference between the two countries. But I think, sooner or later, we might see the immigration laws tighten everywhere in EU.

Of course they should, because immigrants and their interest comes later after taking care of their own citizens interests. When they have to often compromise with safety, I am sure they will rethink their immigration policies ..Here i India we have all sicular parties crying hoarse if you so much as mention Bangla deshi immigration problem because it suits their own interest ,  they care two hoots about the immigrants unlike Europe where they go all out to take care of the immigrants especially Germany which spends close on 3000 euros on each immigrant per month, I am told ..
