Now, I thought of a great solution to this whole Brexit fiasco that can make some more people happy (maybe we can get to 50% plus one?).

We will have a new referendum....on the secession of England from the United Kingdom.

If a yes vote is returned, England will secede from the UK and Scotland will continue as the legal heir to the United Kingdom. The Westminster Parliament (the legal continuation of the Parliaments of independent England and Scotland) would shed its English MPs and move to Scotland where it would resume sitting as the same historical Scottish Parliament dating back hundreds of years. A new English Parliament would be established for the newly independent nation of England.

One of the first acts of the Scottish Parliament (the continuation of the UK Parliament), sitting without the English MPs, would be to revoke Article 50. Meanwhile, England, as a new nation, would not be a member of the EU and would not apply for entry unless at some point its people voted for a government that wanted to do so.

I hope that this plan could establish a temporary coalition between the Brexit Party and the SNP,
