12-09-02 How Can Britain Exit The EU?

I believe that the right to secede will become a major escape mechanism in some nations.  For example, the established right of Quebec to secede from Canada, may eventually save the English speaking Canadian provinces from government tyranny, US style. 
In contrast, in the US, through events of the Civil War, it was established that secession of any of the several states, permitted in the US Constitution, leads to war and  carnage. Therefore, the People of the United States appear doomed for oppression by the federal government.
