The problem for me is that there are two countries now. Not England and Scotland but the polar opposites of political belief. The EU ref has highlighted exactly how split the UK is on fundamental beliefs over health and social care, immigration, workers' rights and standards of living. Labour under Corbyn have policies that many could support but which equally many seem horrified by. The Tories continue to apeal to the majority of English voters over any alternatives.
Unless we ever get proportional representation, I don'the see how this can be reconciled. I think any hopes of healing the divides now are decades away.
