==============================================
The Irony may be that Wales were largely expected to be in the 'stay
camp'.
Scotland 'should' now get their 2nd referendum, as Nicola Sturgeon
mentioned - I hope they DO... then I might ALSO see yet another vote
I want to go MY way. They have been riding on England's back for Far
Too Long.
Northern Ireland voted to stay, so they are now considering opening
the borders and joining with the Republic of Ireland.
Soooooooooo... Everybody will be HAPPY :)
