The rise of Nigel Farage has prompted political leaders across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to game the unthinkable: the breakup of the United Kingdom.
Unionists who wish to save the union and nationalists who wish to end it are bracing for constitutional turmoil if Reform UK emerges triumphant – with Farage as prime minister or official leader of the opposition – after the next election.
Representatives from each side believe a Farage-led government could trigger a hasty referendum on Irish unification and usher in Trump-style anti-immigration crackdowns that alienate the Celtic nations. The possibility of a strong Reform opposition or coalition spooks the nations just as much.
It is conceivable that “in just a handful of years’ time, people on the island of Ireland will be looking across the Irish Sea to a country where ICE-like snatch squads are arresting people off the streets” said Mark Drakeford, the former first minister of Wales, referring to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Drakeford, who has repeatedly said he would fight to retain the union, worries that politics in Britain has irrevocably changed and fears there “there may not be time” for a considered debate about the UK’s future if Farage reaches Downing Street or Reform boosts its number of parliamentary seats from the eight it now holds.
“The United Kingdom is a voluntary association of four nations, and in any voluntary association there must be choices that people can make to stay in and choices that people can make to leave.”
The former Welsh Labour leader made the warnings last week at a conference in Belfast organised by the Social Democratic and Labour party (SDLP), during which figures from across the UK and Ireland voiced concern about the risk of being “bounced” into a vote on Irish unification.

I call BS on some of the assumptions in this article.
Anything to protect the illegal muzzie imports.
Al Guardian getting bothered that the Imam of Canterbury might not materialize.
Deepies just love murdering Western Civilization.
Well said.
The Guardian—projecting their extreme leftwing views onto the public. I think most public opinion would show that the people are fed up with the invasion of muslims and other nonEuropean people.
These Leftist really like having their young daughters raped and their sons beaten to death in the streets by Muslim invaders (oops I meant refugees, sorry).
Don’t forget to hook up w/the Isle of Man and Brittany.
Most leftists don’t appear to be reproducing, especially the ones leading their scum-show, so that doesn’t affect them, just those they consider their enemies..
On July 4, it should be remembered that the United States is a voluntary association of 50 nations.
Happy July 4th one and all.
“On July 4, it should be remembered that the United States is a voluntary association of 50 nations.”
The Articles of Confederation required a perpetual union of its members.
South Carolina didn’t have a right to leave the Union in 1861 or 1832.
True, but the HBTQ... crowd won’t have it too easy in the MuslimUK either.
For F’s sake will you please stop posting BS from The Guardian. Find an actual news org.
Happy 4th. 🇺🇸
The so-called “nationalists” are really globalists and socialists who will turn themselves over to be colonies of the EU and Davos.
I forget...were those the blue-faced dudes, or the Stonehenge dudes? And who were Pink Floyd grooving in a cave with?
It was the Picts with Roger in the cave.
