It might well serve our erstwhile neighbours across the Celtic Sea to adopt this convention in any potential forthcoming referendum on a 2nd Brexit Referendum, with perhaps this minor additional feature, given that an official title for our neighbour’s entity is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island.
