Roger Scruton (Wiltshire, philosopher): As you ask (see post below) I don’t like the idea of a Plan B, since I don’t like the idea that a constitution, a country or a political order should be planned. I liked the old constitution, as the benign by-product of agreements and customs that were never planned. But, since you have asked, let me say that, if we must have something new, let us have an English Parliament, and a new alliance of the three nation states of Great Britain, working for a permanent settlement in Ireland, but each going their own way, dividing in the same accidental way that Scotland and England were once (not so long ago) united.
