Scotland and Northern Ireland, both England and the Wales parliments will have to negotiate with both of these countries before it can happen and this could scupper any plans. The people in England and Wales said they wanted Out of the EU and Scotland and Northern Ireland said the wanted to Remain in the EU.
Stalemate I would think. :eek
Rubbish. The country in question is the UK. The UK has voted out. Whilst Scotland and N.I. are parts of the UK, that means they are out too.
If they wish to hold referendums to leave the UK, then they can negotiate to rejoin the EU once they have independence.
