Post-Brexit: Will it end to the UK?    

London:
Speculation is rife that the vote on Brexit may precipitate the end
of the UK as well. The contemplation may further be substantiated
after Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said a second
independence referendum was ‘now highly likely.’ The preference of
Scotland for being in the EU may distance it from the UK.

Describing
the Brexit decision as a major mistake, Sturgeon said she would now
seek “to secure Scotland’s continuing place in the EU and
single market in particular.” Her statement is indicating clear
signs that Scotland could now break away from the UK.

Every
constituency in Scotland voted to Remain. “I am proud of
Scotland and how we voted for Remain,” Sturgeon said. London,
Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle were among the areas that backed
Remain. On the other hand, the Leave campaign won huge victories
Wales and England.

Scotland
is considered to be outward-looking, open and inclusive region within
the UK. Sturgeon further added that “we said clearly that we do
not want to leave the European Union. I am determined that we will do
what it takes to make sure that these aspirations are realised.”

In Wales
and across the UK, the Leave campaign won huge victories outside the
big cities while in Scotland every constituency voted to Remain. Many
of those in Scotland who voted to stay in the UK two years ago did so
because they wanted to reject a narrow nationalism and its insular
view of the world.

Conservative
leader and Prime Minister David Cameron on Saturday speaking outside
Number 10 Downing Street said the country required ‘fresh
leadership.’ However, Cameron will continue as Prime Minister with
his Cabinet for the next three months, but prefers to have a new PM
in place by October.
