Considering what parts of the UK preferred to stay and which preferred to leave, I wonder if overall the way to give the most people what they want would have been to leave the UK in the EU but have England leave the UK.


The UK is basically England. All the decisions are made there. England wouldn't leave the UK as much as disbanding it.


And the part of the UK most strongly in favour of remaining in the EU was London, which is the part of England where the decisions get made...


So we have a sort of layer cake solution. The UK minus England's in; England's out; London's in as an exclave; Buckingham Palace and Westminster are out as exclaves within the exclave, and the City of London, which as everyone knows is different from London, is in, but separately governed as another exclave within the exclave.

Everyone got that?
