I felt the UK had the potential to breakup a couple of decades ago, due to Scotland and Wales having to put up with perpetual right wing Westminster Governments after Labour became a right wing party, things have changed over those last 20 years with immigration from England into Wales on the one hand helping too tie Wales to England, but on the other hand the Scots voting for a separatist party in huge numbers and now getting dragged out of Europe against their will after only just missing out on an independence vote after dubious practices and then we have the birth rate in the North of Ireland eating into the unionist gerrymandering figures as well as the Republic doing well and UK not doing so well and they are getting dragged out of the EU against their wishes then the union might well be on its last legs in its present form.

If Scotland and N.Ireland go then what will become of Wales I wonder ?
One reason I often hear is that Wales can't afford to leave the UK. Most economists say Britain will be worse off when we leave the EU, yet that doesn't seem to matter. I find that confusing.

If Scotland and Northern Ireland leave the UK, and I'd be delighted for that to happen if their people voted for it, Wales would have a difficult decision to make. Feelings towards independence are growing here and Wales may have to decide whether it wants to stay as a shit stain on England's shoe or not.
