GB is out.
Next is Scotland leaving UK.

Not likely, Boris Johnson clearly said there would be no referendum for Scotland, and you have to love the irony when you hear the UK saying they leave cause they want freedom and democracy against us horrible Europeans and our horrible and obvious dictatorship. As for Scotland they are free to NOT leave the UK...

At this point, the only way to get a referendum will be pressuring London into allowing it. I hope that our Scottish friends will be one day allowed to free themselves from the UK, I hope they will be given the choice the UK always had when joining the EU. But at least this shows where freedom and oppression really are.

From what I can gather: 

Does Scotland have the power to hold a referendum?
There has long been legal debate over whether the Scottish Parliament, rather than MPs at Westminster, could pass the laws needed for a new vote on independence to be held - but the matter has never been tested in court.
Ms Sturgeon has rejected holding an "illegal or wildcat referendum", like that held in Catalonia in 2017, but she hasn't ruled out a legal challenge to see if Holyrood could actually legislate for a poll.
But this is not her focus for now. She warns that the outcome of such a court case would be deeply uncertain - "it could move us forward, but equally it could set us back".

They can try and see where it goes.

Edit: I have no clue how to fix the color…..
