	And the EU must accept or decline the request unanimously.

That is not true, all votes casted have to be in favour of yes or no, but country's are allowed to not cast a vote.

We're getting used to it. Some of us put it down to EMF by now.

This song pretty much covers it (though perhaps replace IRA with Islamists), 40 years ago:

It's actually very serious, we will only find out how serious if there is a second referendum. Don't be surprised with a huge leave majority

The electorate voted, people are not stupid & don't like being made a fool of. The silent majority will be much bigger next time.

Fun factor for (German speaking) people who are trying to figure out GB these days.
One wonders what century they live in?
And with the "Division Bell" being heard in the pubs and restaurants in the enviroment of the Westminster Palace one wonders what their problem with Muezzins is?

What silent majority is this? It was sadly the remain side that failed to fully mobilise their support.

So the number of people voting will be even smaller than last time, making the result even less representative of the population as a whole?

And this is good... how?

Well let’s say they don’t appear to be terribly politically aware then...

On a different note, I think Scotland will distance itself more and more....for instance they announced since February that EU students will study free of charge in Scottish universities.
It seems to me the old England will become Little England and not only in comedies.

This was already the case before Brexit. Everyone in the EU already gets free tuition at Scottish universities apart from “Little Englanders” (and northern bogtrotters and Taffs). This is discrimination but somehow Scotland gets away with it.

Looking on the bright side, at least they know what they’re voting for this time.

Scottish independence is inevitable. The political and social culture of Scotland is incompatible with that of England and Wales.

I think Brits need to embrace reality and make positive efforts to make it happen. Kind of the complete opposite to what's happened with Brexit.

But that presumes that lessons can be learnt from history...

If I had only started working out at the beginning of Brexit campaign, I would have achieved tremendous results towards the end of it. Arnie needed many years too
