Given the Conservative win in the United Kingdom, do you think this could lead to the Independence of Scotland and Reunification of Ireland?
This idea is largely based on:
- Scotland voted in its entirety the National Scottish Party bar 1 Labour and 3? Conservatives.
- Brexit was a 67% against vote in Scotland
- Then also considering that Northern Ireland voted for other parties, no Conservative seats. So, do you think the basis for 2 referendums that will see the end of the United Kingdom?

In the event of a United Ireland, would the United Kingdom still be called the United Kingdom?
I've heard conflicting answers about this. Some claim that the United Kingdom moniker, created after the Act of Union 1801, would only refer to the Union between Great Britain and Ireland, and subsequently Northern Ireland, and that before the AOU, it was just the 'Kingdom of Great Britain'. Others claim that the 'United' part refers to the Union between the crowns of Scotland and England, and thus it will remain. Most think that it would stay as The United Kingdom of Great Britain either way, simply because that is what the country is now known as.
