I would be very surprised if that happened. They received 4mm votes in the last general election. 17mm people voted for Brexit. I would fully expect that the UKIP leadership would look at that as a potential 13mm people that they can reach.

Indeed but they either entered the EU before the Euro and negotiated an opt out or they're in the process of adopting the Euro (albeit reluctantly in some cases). From the EU's perspective, in order for them to go against the anti

I can't think of any situation where Westminster will prefer for Scotland or NI to secede. You'd simply be weakening yourself politically and economically, throwing away tax revenue, and looking pretty incompetent (even more so th

Highly unlikely. The EU generally negotiates as a bloc. It is almost inconceivable that there won't be some sort of trade deal between the EU and the UK and all of the EU would be party to it. It's probably worth pointing out also

Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, has been in Brussels discussing this. In summary, it's complicated. Firstly, economically, the remainder of the UK is a far larger market for Scotland than the EU. This wouldn't be

Probably would have been a better plan if it was the rule before the vote rather than after.

See all this would make sense if the vote to leave was a vote against the Westminster hegemony. But it was the exact opposite. It was a vote to concentrate power in Westminster. It may have the effect of giving more power to Scotland and NI

I'm not sure I follow. We've just had a very proportional vote (assuming you're over 18 and not in prison). 48% just got marginalised for somewhat longer than 5 years. What would a proportional general elections have helped w

I don't agree that free movement of goods and people are necessarily inseparable but I completely agree that this is the line in the sand that the EU won't cross under any circumstances. The flip side is that it's the main re

Apparently, Nicola Sturgeon has been in contact with Sadiq Khan. If you're going to upset the status quo you might as well do it in style. If Scotland and London secedes, I'd vote for it. Unfortunately I think the EU would welcome

The only conceivable way that a UK government can ignore this result is if the EU comes back with a substantial offer of change including a significant compromise on free movement. That could be used as a reason to trigger a second referend

All the banks operating out of London have contingency plans that, at the very least, will move their primary legal entities to continental Europe. If this had happened 10 years ago they would probably have moved them to Ireland but that wo

Up until about ten years ago, the general approach was to find and prosecute those who were responsible for the Holocaust i.e. made decisions that caused or prolonged it, or those who actively participated in atrocities. For example, the Ei

Indeed. What I think is happening is that international travel is a little too easy. Not a bad thing of itself but it's easy to get caught out thinking that it's just like intranatioanl travel. It hit home to me a few years ago wh

If you're not caught flouting their laws or being rude then, in my experience, they're all fine. The US is the most intrusive - fingerprints and photo every time you enter, but it's only a problem if you find it a problem (if

Not necessarily. Bear in mind this based on survey results from Stack Overflow and the sizes for some of the categories are quite small. For example. Dart is the second highest paid language globally but doesn't even figure in the top

The point though, surely, is that having good grammar shows you can write not that you're a writer. The corollary being that passing a technical test means you can code not that you're a good developer. I think it would be a step

I do pay for news. It works out to a couple of USD per day I would guess. It's not very efficient, I'm paying for a lot of stuff that I'm not interested in to get a small amount of news that I am interested in. It's prob

That's correct. But MPs thought that it should mean something so they've amended the bill accordingly. That's what's going through Parliament now.

This was news about a year ago. I presume it's in Computer Weekly because the current bill is trying to close some gaps in the Wilson doctrine that were exposed at the time.

The advice is being given as it signals that the person isn't interested in a non-professional relationship. It would probably be more direct to just say "I have no interest in a non-professional relationship" but, I assume,
