    I'm sorry, is there any country that can give me good news? It seems that Mexico, US and UK are full of negative news and I'm getting grumpy and sarcastic (more than usual).

    Maybe there are two countries who can give you some good (or at least less bad) news. Scotland had a vast majority of remain votes (and every single district count had a remain majority, so the whole country is together). Sine the independence referendum a short time ago was fought with the "anti" brigade claiming that the only way Scotland could remain in the EU was by remaining in the UK, it's now extremely likey that their will be a new independence referendum and that may lead to Scotland outside the UK but inside the EU. Of course the referendum won't happen if the Scottish government can't arrive at a situation where they are sure the EU will let them in as a separate nation, but that seems unlikely.

    And Ireland might at last be united as a single nation once again as a result of a similar backlash of a democratic majority being deprived of the continued EU membership they voted for in this referendum.

    Leaving "the United Kingdom of England and Wales" to do its own thing outside the EU.

    It might happen; it might not happen. If it does I might leave England and return to Scotland, if it doesn't I'll just have to pray that Spain will allow me to be a registered resident for another 4 years after the EU-UK divorce is finalised, because if it does I'll be able to ask for nationality there, in the EU, and ignore this English anti-EU nonsense.
