Anyway. I live in Scotland. We're more likely to claim independence and rejoin the EU. Northern Ireland will unify with Ireland and that just leaves England and Wales. Give it a few years for the baby boomers to die out and they'll be asking to be let back into the EU because the younger generation voted to remain by a large margin.
That would not prevent brexiteer led Britain from attempting to act more as an American lapdog than tony Blair in order to create the impression it is still a world power and not a former power that just petulantly shot its last bolt.
Such a move would be deeply unpopular with the electorate. It's part of what brought down Blair after all.
