One thing that recently struck me about Brexit was how much it represents a "States Rights" problem.

Apart from the "ever closer union" of the EU (which frankly has to have fiscal union once it has monetary union), Brexit has highlighted the unresolved "states" or kingdoms of the UK - an English majority of voters is driving a decision that every other state chose not to do. We don't have a balancing Senate to defend smaller states (hell we don't have an elected second chamber - in fact we have more unelected members of parliament than we do elected!!)

We do have a need to look at a constitution and upper chamber again - we have a lot of things to sort out whatever happens with brexit

(basically brexit vote was the bit in the awkward family gathering where one person shouts out "i never liked your ex husband" and suddenly all the disagreements come tumbling out.
