You might want to go to the 'English' board, with this news. Or is this another end around, "Trump would be so bad for the economy if he is elected." , thread.?
We'll see on both counts. Economists forecasts are as numerous as seashells and mostly wrong.
I used to have a subscription to The Eonomist. It is a very pro globalization publication. They want a world with equilibration of all economies and open borders. Their analysis is sometimes right, and sometimes wrong, but always pro globalism so I expect nothing less from them now.
If they remained, is there any question the euro becomes more socialist, and UK is left paying for countries with no GDP? As the world becomes more globalist, the successful western nations are forced toward socialism, as its poor and unskilled migrants gravitating to countries that are successful.

I wonder if Scotland will vote for Independence and Ireland will unify.

Northern Ireland has segregation that is a long-running issue in the political and social history. Brits and Irish are seperated in most neighborhoods. You would see British flags in one neighborhood and Irish flags in another. You can find extremely tall walls seperating neighborhoods. Every year during marching season they antagonize each other by marching with a band into each other neighborhood playing offensive songs and yelling at each other. This issue needs to be fixed first. Republic of Ireland wouldn't be able to handle such issues. Northern Ireland use 24/7 armed police. Republic of Ireland does not
Yeah, as IrishReaper said, Scots will likely try for independence again, depending on what happens with the EU after the UK leaves. Of course, the only reason Scotland didn't leave the last time around, was because it was terrified of what might happen to its precious economy. And even if the UK leaves the union, the rest of the UK is still Scotland's biggest trading partner by far. So Scotland is basically screwed one way or the other. It hates being in the UK, but if the UK leaves the EU, then if Scotland then tried to join the EU, its trade with the UK would then be controlled by Brussels.
So, at least economically, Scotland is still probably better-off staying in an independent UK. And culturally/politically, it is better-off in the UK as well(or going it alone).
Northern Ireland might have Ireland in its name, but it is not Ireland. It was the "Plantation of Ulster". Where the English basically took a part of Ireland, and either kicked the native Irish out entirely, or made it illegal for them to own land(thus leaving the only Irishmen there landless peasants/cheap laborers). But since the rise of liberal-democracy and the end of imperialism, the Irish-Catholic population in Ireland has been increasing, but they are still a minority.
UK independence is less-likely to cause a reunification of Ireland, than it would be to cause a Civil-War there. And if violence broke out, the UK would send in troops and crush any Irish-Catholic independence movement.
I saw this as great news since I oppose globalism, the death of sovereignty, one of the big reasons I support Trump in the first place.
My husband was casting 2 or 3 news people discussing this and it just sounded all good to me. They were debunking the myths about the tragedy this is supposed to be. There is an adjust period whenever changes are made, but that doesn't mean there should never be changes especially when one is in a nose dive, a little correction can go a long way.

The pall is visibly discernible all over the front of the Guardian and its roster of clueless Labour voters.
There are a lot of lower income working-class people on the outskirts of the cities that they forgot about, who voted for this--and who don't have the luxury of migrating to the continent, where conditions are even worse, and they're fed up with globalist antics to import endless streams of immigrants from it at their expense.
