I'm afraid to say, that your impressions are incorrect. Northern Ireland will not be joining Southern Ireland. They still see themselves as British first. Go over there, like I have and you'll see British Flags everywhere. Also, have you see the situation in Spain lately? Gibraltar is staying put. I do love hearing these fantasists hoping that the UK crumbles because it left the UK. You do realise there are whispers within the STRONGER countries in the EU who are now thinking of having their own referendums? The EU better be be careful as otherwise it's just France, Germany and a whole lot of smaller poorer southern countries and Germany goes bankrupt trying to bail them out! Lets see what happens when Greece finally explodes!

If the UK leaves, Scotland is probably out. The economy prospects are not looking good. Capital is flowing out of the UK, and plans for new investment's are being cancelled all over the place. Why invest in country that might be behind a trade barrier at any point? A country that is being consumed by a strong populist movement that is convinced that the EU is worse than the USSR? Sorry, we have had 70 years of peace and prosperity, and I don't believe that that would be possible if the EU was the monster that the Brexit camp portrays. The dislocations in the city have begun.[1] Keep mind that there are 49%+ Britons aghast at what is happening. They didn't vote for this, and don't deserve this.

Cameron announced the referendum as policy choice in 2013 and at least after the May 2015 election it was clear it would happen. Therefore this was a long time coming. Has any other European country started with a referendum process in the meantime? Do you think just because the UK voted out, suddenly a stampede of referendums will begin, even though it would be much smarter to wait and see how things turn out in the UK? "Fantasists" hoping the other side will crumble exist in both camps... (Let's not forget that Cameron was campaigning for IN. In the future, the only government who would call a referendum must be campaigning for OUT - nobody else would take the risk after what happened in the UK)
