That's assuming the rest of the UK have not already voted to leave the EU themselves after their own referendum. The current UK membership is not as straight forward as the likes of France for example, being that the membership is already made up of four widely recognised individual countries.

So, one possible scenario could be that Ukraine joins the EU, with memebrship pushed through by our politicians. Ukraine then gets to vote on whether the NUK (the non-united kingdom's as we will then be) should be allowed into the EU.

Of course the Scot's may yet not get to vote - refrendum's on independence seem to be out of fashion all of a sudden.
