How many people reside and could therefore vote in such a referendum Kevin? As the number of people who live in England far out numbers the populations of Scotland; Northern Ireland and Wales. Under your scheme the population od England to always outvote and dominate the desired courses of the native populations of those countries.

The same goes for an Irish Referendum, that is why it is up to the population of Northern Ireland to demonstrate its desire to become part of a united Ireland first.

But again I will ask my question if the North says Yes and the South says No will the nationalists in Ireland accept the vote that shows the "will of the people".
