The average Scot is much more aware of how bad this is going to be economically fro Scotland and England than the average English person is. So, they would really be upset about this. Ireland likely wants to remain in the EU as well. So, really this is only England Proper and middle Class or lower that voted for brexit out of fear which is a similar "Fear" dynamic of people voting for Trump in the U.S. Both sets of people have just been lied to over and over again so they are trying something new. However, unfortunately in life it is usually "Stand together or fall apart" which is my view of the present situation. It would be like Texas or North Carolina or Georgia or Alabama seceding over Obamacare or Abortion laws from the union of the 50 states.
So, Scotland now has a very good reason to Secede from England and become completely it's own country.

Scotland likely to seek independence
Scotland likely to seek independence after EU vote, first minister says
Story highlights
- Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's party has vowed to revisit independence issue
- Independence rejected in 2014, but with UK vote on EU, things have changed, she says
(CNN)Scotland will likely seek independence for a second time this decade after the historic vote for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Friday.
Sturgeon's
Scottish National Party was elected on a platform that vowed, in part,
to revisit the independence issue -- last decided in a failed 2014 referendum -- should the country be "taken out of the EU against our will," Sturgeon said.
"Scotland
does now face that prospect," Sturgeon said. "It is a significant and
material change in circumstances, and it is therefore a statement of the
obvious that the option of a second referendum must be on the table,
and it is on the table."
What's next for the United Kingdom? 05:30
Scotland
is one of four countries that make up the United Kingdom. England,
Wales and Northern Ireland are the others. Scottish voters
overwhelmingly backed remaining in the EU, 62% in favor of staying to
38% who want to leave.
Sturgeon
said her government would begin preparing legislation for a new
referendum that could be held before the UK formally leaves the EU --
two years from when the government formally notifies the bloc of its
intent to drop out.
She
said she felt it unlikely that UK leaders would try to block the
effort, saying it is "highly likely" that a new independence referendum
will be held.
In the 2014 vote, 55%
of Scottish voters cast ballots in favor of remaining in the United
Kingdom, but Sturgeon said Friday that many of those who voted against
independence then are reassessing their positions in light of Thursday's
decision.
