Bluntly, Brexit has shone a light on the fact that the foundations holding up the UK had been crumbling for some time. The movement in the UK's politics and resulting divisions is nicely illustrated by the last eight years of its voting history. The SNP would clearly like to push for a second independence referendum and rejoin the EU as an independent nation. "It's still not clear what the UK wants," Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit coordinator for the EU Parliament, told CNN. If that doesn't happen, then the UK as we know it will have to continue to exist on life support.
