For England. Not for Ireland, Scotland or Wales. They'll immediately start the process to rejoin the EU. Happy days ahead. You'll always have London, they'll pay the bills for the rest of the country.

Wales voted to leave the EU. Plus it’s very unlikely that either Scotland or Wales will meet the economic requirements for EU membership. Not to mention the fact that Spain will do everything to block their entry since it would vitalise some of their own nationalist movements.

Wales can do whatever it wants. Ireland will absorb the North. Spain has already said it won't veto Scotland.

I think moving to a confederacy arrangement post independance would make sense, with things such as defense shared across the isle (if indeed independance is this will of the people). Albeit, the majority of funding would come from Westminster, but Wales and Scotland couldn't remain agnostic to defence in the face of growing global threats.

No English colonists in Wales voted to leave

Source: the guardian

‘Research suggests that English-born residents and retirees living in Wales contributed significantly to the country's 52.5% Leave vote in the 2016 EU referendum.’

Weird conclusion. Are you saying Welsh people should accept a million people influx. No other country on planet earth would accept that.
