I really hope the UK stays together. Brexit or no Brexit, the UK remains a strategic member of Europe the continent, a key trade partner and a positive influence for Europeans, positive even as a competitor -- a baseline of some sorts. This whole breakup ordeal will end up creating fragile trade agreements and increase diplomatic carpet pulling that could trigger public resentment and fuel extremist politicians in the continent.
The possibility of an integrated Ireland and Scotland as new members of the EU could also tip the English towards a very aggressive reset of their political and strategic roadmap, even worse than post-Brexit. I have no idea where to though... The US/Americas? Asia-Pacific? The Singapore of the Atlantic?
