Is the United Kingdom a good thing on the whole or should we break it?
Yes, having gone through a lot of pain the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is now a good thing in my view. However, I am English and other countries within the UK may think differently. That is their right, but so far none have chosen to do so (other than the Irish Republic that caused that new form of the UK). The same is not so for the European Union, as one member has now chosen to leave it. Others may yet follow that lead...
