So we can look forward to the Republic of Ireland taking the commonsense option: instead of preparing to celebrate the 100th anniversary of independence from the UK, they will petition to rejoin the UK.

This will undoubtedly be followed by an outbreak of commonsense elsewhere in the world. The Estonians will eliminate the threat on their Eastern border by asking to join the Russian Federation. The Taiwanese will ask to join the economic superpower that is the People's Republic of China. I can really see no end to this sweetness and light.
