THE fateful 23rd June 2016 referendum vote by a majority of the United Kingdom, UK, citizens to take their country out of the European Union has left the whole world reeling. Perhaps, many people did not really expect the “ayes” (or “leave”) to have it. But they did by 52 percent of an exercise where the younger segments of the society did not bother much to participate in the voting. Much of the “leave” votes came from England, the heart and head of the UK; and of course, Wales, but Scotland and Northern Ireland voted massively to stay in Europe. And that is where the bone in Her Brittanic Royal Majesty’s kingdom throat is now located: Scotland may sue for a repeat of the 2014 referendum to determine if her people would value their continued membership of the UK above their membership of the EU. If this takes place and Scotland leaves the UK while Northern Ireland reunites with the rest of Ireland, it will result in unanticipated and unpalatable consequences
