Maybe lets use the opportunity to flip the script. Reunite Ireland and offer Scotland to join, creating the United Republic of Ireland and Scotland.

Then demand the UK to change it's name to Kingdom of England and Wales as a prerequisite to any negotiations with the EU

NI has a very clear-cut legal option to leave UK and reunite with Ireland but Scotland's situation is a lot more complicated.

The Star Trek “Prophecy” might actually come true! :o

In all seriousness, it makes a whole lot more sense now that the consequences of Brexit are disproportionately felt by the population in the north.
