The UK held together by the skin of its teeth last year and since then the independence movement has only continued to march powerfully forwards. The end could easily come as early as next year, depending on how the EU referendum goes.
If the results of last months election happened in 2003 or earlier then Scotland would've declared independence already. It was only in 2004 the SNP adopted their policy of a referendum rather than just a simple majority in an election.
If the UK votes to stay in the EU, unless there is a massive crisis in like France or something which causes every to want to break away, my bets still on the UK in the short term, say in the next 10 years. Spain might be able to sneak in and is a close second in my mind.
I feel like as soon as one declares independence and is successful the rest will start to gain more traction. If the SNP could've pointed to Catalonia and said "See, they done it!" the referendum could've went much different.

Northern Ireland is completely ignored too.
