I cannot really asses the situation in the British society.

I would like to read some opinions from Brits.

No civil war - only the peaceful disintegration of the UK will be the likely consequence.

Scotland will almost certainly secede as they are very pro EU and do not like being taken out of the EU by England.

Northern Ireland is also likely to go quicker than was likely before Brexit.

This will leave a rump UK with England and Wales - England itself may then declare independence in order not to have to subsidise the Welsh anymore!

No, Civil war in western Democracies is almost impossible, What I am curious about that if other EU countries which are not so happy will follow UK leads ? @Vergennes bro any chance of France rethinking over EU ?

But the government will never allow a second referendum to be held in Scotland. What's the solution to this problem? Will London use the military to stop such an action?

They have said no but only for now.

An almost English UK government will face off a Scottish government that has 80% of the seats in Scotland. This gives the SNP a tremendous mandate to keep pushing for an independence referendum. By denying this referendum this will only drive more Scots to support independence.

Remember one of the big arguments to stay in the UK in 2014 was that by leaving Scotland would have to re-apply to the EU as it would be out of the EU once it left the UK. Now the English have taken the Scots out of the EU!

The act of Union between Scotland and England made both countries equals in the UK. This is not like Wales and Northern Ireland which were both conquered by the English many centuries before the act of Union. Scotland freely chose to join the UK on the basis of equality with England.

What? The only way you will get civil war is ban alcohol and football. Brexit or no brexit everything will sail along nicely.

And I actually voted for Brexit. Celebrated Boris's victory. For me EU is manifestation of apartheid by other means and racist in it's very DNA. Why can a Marek, Mattis from Eastern Europe walk into UK bold as brass but Mohammed, Mahmud from Pakistan have to jump under a truck, drown in the channel, get shot at to get to UK?

Will London use the military to stop such an action?

Never.

Cuz they are white?

Cuz they are part of the old Christendom?

Nah, they're too fat and lazy to fight a civil war. It will break the UK apart, though. William Wallace got what he wanted after all.

No. Zero chance. Everyone just wants to get on with surviving and prospering. There is a big political divide and I fear there will be a negative economic impact to Brexit, especially for the poorest in society but its nothing people haven't faced before - it's nothing that will cause violence.

But the government will never allow a second referendum to be held in Scotland. What's the solution to this problem? Will London use the military to stop such an action?

I think legally Scotland has to get the approval of the British parliament to get the vote. The SNP can lobby for it, but it can't force it. The Catalonians won an independence referendum which Spain didn't allow, nothing became of that. The same would be true in Scotland.

It will not have a a choice.

No there will be no civil war as most people wanted to leave the EU. The support for the EU comes from champagne socialist types who can’t fight their way out of a paper bag.

There will also be no break-up of the U.K. as number one Scotland has the worst finances in the western world as a stand alone country, the worst deficit and the country’s public services are a mess.
Support for independence is also not there and I’ve put up significant data showing this from polling.
The people going on about the UK falling apart are just upset about the UK leaving the EU and the massive conservative victory. Pretty soon they will be history as no one gives a cares about an insignificant minority which cries wolf all the time.

Macron had an ambitious program to rethink and reform the EU,but it seemed to ambitious and over realistic and is currently in a dead point.
France and Germany support the idea of a conference on "the future of Europe" over two years 2020 and 2022.
But for the French electorate that would most likely be too late. Euroscepticism might actually be more prevalent in France than in the UK (even among rightists and leftists),so it's a dangerous situation we have right here. Macron agreed before the election it was the last chance to save the EU... well we missed the chance it seems.

Oh BTW,Britons are too civilized for a civil war,they aren't savages like the French who destroy,burn and pillage everything at the first occasion.
