ONLY around a third of people in the UK think the Union will still exist in 10 years, new polling has found.

The poll from Ipsos, published on Monday, revealed that while a majority of the public expect the Union still to exist in its current form in the short and medium term, there is growing public scepticism over its long-term viability.
