Spain will seek co-sovereignty on the British colony of Gibraltar, which is situated on the southern tip of Spain. Gibraltar has been British since 1713 but 96% of its voters said they wanted to stay in the E.U.

Nicola Sturgeon, head of the Scottish National Party, has said Scotland must stage a second independence referendum before the U.K. leaves the E.U. The country overwhelmingly voted to remain within the EU.

Sinn Fein, the party which shares power in Northern Ireland and commands support in the Republic of Ireland has called for a referendum on unifying the two parts of Ireland. Northern Ireland remained part of the U.K. after the rest of Ireland seceded in 1922.
