I have no idea what's going to happen to the UK when they crash out of the EU, but one can't help but to think about hypothetical scenarios and how things might play out...

I don't know if there's been any stance taken by other EU members on Irish reunification but I know Spain has said they'd block Scottish admission if they went independent. Had a big effect on the referendum as I recall.



Northern Ireland might be different if they're joining an EU member state (don't know what the EU approval process would be for that, or if Spain would have the same objection).
