Imo this absolute arrogance from london started the whole disgraceful events.
The UK should have transitioned completely and used the Euro. Not doing that and displaying their superiority complex with the use of the pound gave Britons an excuse.
I think Dave Cameron completely misread the sentiment of the public with Brexit.
It would have been more practical to use the Euro but that was one aspect of the British economy which they wanted to retain (and with the Spanish and Greek economy falling apart, it does make sense to keep certain aspects of the EU separate).
Tbf the one thing that shits me about the debate is that we have all been focusing on what the UK have done wrong and they're idiots blah blah blah but no one has discussed why the UK wanted out in the first place.
The EU has been a dogs breakfast and been it's own worst enemy. Weak borders where other countries had to carry the burden of another countries stupid policy (Merkel 'if you can get here you're one of us' policy), economic collapse of Spain, Italy and Greece effecting stronger economies and making them financial slaves and weak import tax policy.
Of course there are fabulous aspects of the EU but the negatives are in your face, and although nothing that can't be overcome, it effects the everyday person.
The EU is a fantastic idea but until Brussels stops fucking about the whole project could be rendered to an idea .
Mmhmm. The other big issue has to be restoring your national sovereignty when it comes to the legal system. It's a weird idea that although the highest court in Great Britain might find one way, you can appeal to courts in the EU to overturn it. Effectively, it doesn't allow a country to truly govern itself.
(Interestingly, this was one of the political issues being fought for in the English Reformation 500 years ago - not being able to appeal to Papal Courts over against what was decided in England).
As soon as this passes Scotland will bail at of the UK to be part of the EU and the United Kingdom won't be so united anymore.
The English are essentially 500 years behind.
Yup, they'll be singing a different tune post Brexit.

We may also see a united Ireland too. That'd be interesting.

Would that even be workable? I can't see the Northern Irish Protestants suddenly wanting to unite with the Catholics and be a minority in a unified Ireland.

If by interesting you mean we see a return a violence and bombing in Ireland and maybe England then you would be correct.

At least a 3 month extension. Maybe 12 if it can be done.
May is in a no win situation really.
