Wonderful!

Never forget that for all its faults, the UK is so much better than most other countries despite all its problems and difficulties.

My negative side says "Polarised" but my positive side says "Hopeful".

Grandmabatty I totally understand how you feel. I have relatives in Scotland and they feel the same.

I’m in England and I feel angry at having left the EU but I often feel that, if I was Scottish, I would be even more furious as leaving was against your democratic will.

I do love Scotland thoughflowers

Intense ( at the moment,anyway)

I agree with the above, but it would be a bit weird if we weren't, as the whole of the Western world is like that.

Divided was the word that came immediately to my mind too Lizzy

And I'm aware that some will come on here to put down SNP. I know they aren't perfect. However their worst is nothing compared to this shower of rogues in Westminster.

Sadly mine would be dividedsad

I no longer consider myself part of a UK. My country (Scotland) in the main part, voted to stay in Europe and were taken out against our wishes. Conservatives haven't been in power here for decades but we had to watch while horrible decisions were made which affected us. I wasn't a Scottish national voter. I voted to stay part of the union in the referendum, however the poor decisions and corrupt behaviour have made me change my mind. I'm not alone, I'm sure. There is no UK any more.

Many people have used Broken during this campaign. I would use disintegrating for obvious reasons.

Newsnight last night a focus group bod “more in common” said that the word most used when asked to describe the U.K. it was

BROKEN

What is yours?

Mine would be broken.
