If "kingdom" in your Guardian quote refers to the United Kingdom, then it is surely in turmoil when a non-trivial number of people (say ~50% in Scotland, ~25% in Northern Ireland) don't wish to be a part of it.
- zigzigzag 10y ago44% in Scotland and not much appetite for a rerun according to the polls. But I suppose if you want to define it that way, you can, as long as you're consistent: by that definition virtually all of Europe is in turmoil (well, the EU). Not sure people living there would recognise the description though. Things feel quite calm really.
- lumisota 10y agoI don't mean (and I don't read from the Guardian quote) that the people are in turmoil; but the institutions we're talking about (the UK and the EU) are.
