A poll released by The Sunday Times warns that the British identity holding England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland together is rusting, with a majority of voters in both Scotland and Northern Ireland saying they will support an independent referendum.
In Northern Ireland, 47 per cent of those who voted said they had Northern Ireland in the UK, while 42 per cent wanted to leave and unite Ireland. 11 percent are uncertain. When asked if they would like to see a referendum on Northern Ireland annexation in the next five years, 51 per cent of those surveyed said yes and 44 per cent said no.
In Wales, where the idea of independence is traditionally weak, 23 per cent will leave the UK and 31 per cent will vote on the issue.
In Scotland, 49 per cent will go now and 44 per cent will, with 52-48 in favor of leaving, not counting the uncertainty. The referendum will definitely be supported by a majority of Scots, which is why the Scottish National Party has announced that if British Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not go to another Scottish referendum, they will take action to do so. Most of those surveyed in the UK, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland agreed that Scotland was likely to become independent from the UK in the next 10 years. (Sunday Times)
