After the election, Britain has the same prime minister but a new government. With the forces of independence on the march in Scotland and England, is the UK being pushed apart?

He now has a mandate to renegotiate the country's membership of the European Union, with the threat that the British people could vote in a referendum to leave altogether. With the forces of independence on the march in Scotland and evidence that they've been roused in England too, is the UK being pushed apart?
