I'm fairly concerned that Northern Ireland has high potential to become a bloody battleground. IRA activity will certainly increase. Scotland is less messy and would separate fairly easily imo (but you never know British nationalism is on the rise so letting them leave could be seen as something to prevent at all costs)

>> "I'm fairly concerned that Northern Ireland has high potential to become a bloody battleground." This would be the first time that those who want Irish unity could actually sway a significant number of unionist voters. Violence would ruin that opportunity so I doubt it would happen. This vote has increased the possibility of their goals being achieved politically. If anything I would expect violence to rise on the unionist side if it did look like a border poll was going to take place and not go their way.
