Well, the plan for what happens next depends in a large part on negotiations with the EU - who doesn't seem to care about negotiating if there is no clear wakeup call and time limit (like 2 years after taking article 50). The vote was a first step and clear signal that the British people are unhappy with how the EU treats them.

I meant to say Britain so yes it was an error. The tensions between England and Scotland (and to a lesser degree Gibraltar) are unfortunate, especially that the leave vote increased them again. Same with northern Ireland tensions. I have no opinion on whether or not they are supposed to stay together since this seems to be a problem rooted deeply in culture that I might not be able to fully comprehend.
