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.
Demographics and economic reality should mean that we don't reach that point. There are EU countries that would be very against allowing countries which have recently seceeded to join the EU, especially with their potential economic outlook when out on their own.
Northern Ireland I can see rejoining Ireland at some point, which is more likely to be a success (or at least not a failure) because they would be 'annexed' into a country that already exists, is in the EU, and has pre-existing national systems, institutions, and infrastructure to be plugged into. Scotland and Wales don't have that.
The biggest thing stopping a united Ireland is the Irish. And I don't mean that in a nasty way. There's just a very long standing very bloody fued between north and south.
