Closed Hold binding referenda in cities/regions to vote on independence from the UK.

Closed on

Post EU referendum 49% of the voting population are unhappy with the result. 2 countries and many large cities voted to stay, there is a massive divide in the politics, with fundamentally opposed ideas. The UK should allow these regions to vote on independence from the UK in binding referenda.

Given the uncertainty and issues that will arise from leaving the EU and new political leadership. We should seriously consider the alternative options available if cities or regions were to vote for independence and remain in the EU.
