We (the people who are running everything*) have managed to take a protest party and activate sleeper cells in both the blue-rinse reactionary racist homophobic faction and the gay/ethnic wings to create a rift. Given most of the party is defined by being racist homophobic xenophobes who can't be seen to be racist homophobic xenophobes, this was rather easy.
A failure was the attempt to rid us of the scotch (out of the UK and Europe) before they got really expensive (given dwindling cheaper oil and the demographic time bomb up there) to provide an object lesson on how leaving the EU will lead to a failed state in addition to stopping the subsidy before it got silly. The sensitivity modelling suggested that all we need to do was make sure Rangers and Celtic were not directly competing for a couple of years - this would create a sense of Scottish unity in the largest population centre without the usual sectarian divide. Undone by confidence intervals again.
We have a number of scenarios to force another vote. Manufacturing a nuclear accident on the Clyde looks good. As does an aggressive adoption of UK policy that is best for England - English policy votes, wind farm subsidy removal, relocation of parliament to Winchester again etc.
* Yes we are descended from the Knights Templar, the children of Jesus and the whore, grey reptilian aliens, Rasputin and le Comte de Saint-Germain. All the conspiracy theories are right.
