I have a question: if Scotland, north Ireland and Wales break off from England, wtf is the Union Jack going g to become? The Queen's Jack?

You'd just take St Andrew's and Patrick's saltire off (Wales doesn't have any representation on the Union Jack), leaving just St George's cross.

Calling it the Queen's jack would kinda be implying  it is her flag really; Its juet the flag of one of her realms. The Queen already has a flag, the royal standard, which would be unlikely to change because in the Scottish Indy referendum last time it was stated that Scotland wanted to and would keep the Queen as head of state, Loyalism in Northern Ireland would likely result in the Queen remaining as head of state... aaaaaand even if it didn't, well, they didn't change the symbol the first time and so I doubt they would the second time.

Anyway, as Nexerus said the only country which has any likelihood of secession realistically is Scotland... and as he also said, the No camp would have more ammunition this time to fire back at the nationalists (though of course the Nats will also have a fresh example for their England overriding Scotland argument... which means the Government has to hope that if the UK does leave the EU (This referendum is not binding, though it would be politically dangerous (read: suicide) to disregard it, it is still possible. It was also a close vote.), it succeeds or at least the EU fails a lot harder.) 

It is a very messy situation. Nobody seems to have actually expected this result and even leave voters seem shocked and I have heard a couple regret their decision. Anecdotal, I know, but I can't help but wonder if more than a few voted leave just so they could vent about it later without ever expecting or truly wanting to leave...

Perhaps the best case scenario would be for Britain to use this for hard-line renegotiations now the will of the UK at large is shown? There have been calls for referendums elsewhere, the EU might insist it won't budge but it seems that steps towards reform now have to be taken to save it and the world economy seems to have been feeling the repercussions of a Brexit already and nobody really wants to face more finacial problems when we barely got out of our last mess. With it being a close vote, the government /could/ try and get the EU to give it better terms and settle for that instead of going all the way, could they not? Standing on the brink, the alternative is not looking too pretty...


Edit: Please excuse any shitty English and all that; I didn't sleep well last night, it's 3:10 AM and I am ill. It's going to be fun to read this through in the morning and cringe... if not at my writing then as an "Oh my god did I actually say that?" type of reaction. That is usually the case when I try to do this sort of stuff, especially when I am knackered haha.
