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.

Worried that the United Kingdom's election spells the end for Bernie? Don't be. Conservatives in the UK are still to the left of our centrists.

The United Kingdom's government is already way to the left of the United States. They're so "far-left" that the modern day Republican Party would claim the Conservative Party is full of socialist radicals who want to turn the country into Venezuela.

Case in point, here are some of the current UK government programs.

βœ… Universal healthcare

βœ… Up to 39 weeks of paid maternity leave

βœ… Up to 28 weeks paid vacation time by law

βœ… The country does have some protections against massive student-loan debt

βœ… Hasn't been waging an endless war in the Middle East

βœ… Strict gun control

In reality Bernie's policies have already been victorious in the UK for decades now. The UK is a prime example of why Bernie can win.

ELI5: If Dagestan and Chechnya are part of Russia why are they called Republic of Dagestan and Chechen Republic? Are they technically countries in the same way that Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are countries within the United Kingdom?

I see that they are called federal subjects to Russia but I'm not really sure what that means. I see that there are 20 other republics within Russia. Is their ability to operate more autonomously than other areas including krais and oblasts give them the title of "Republic" and do they operate similarly to countries within the United Kingdom?
