What are the other two?
England and Wales.
^Ugly, but they could work something Welsh into it.
^^^ They've had 800 years to work something Welsh into it. Why bother now?
^Shits & giggles? Puff up the Welsh ego so they don't decide to split? Increase sales at flag shops?
Besides, dragons are cool.
Well, the Welsh have the Dragon Flag. So maybe you could add St. George slaying the dragon?
Or maybe that's not such a good idea.
That's terrible-looking.

You'd have to remove the blue from St. Andrew's as well, resulting in this:
That's terrible-looking.
It would look much better if the cross of the Irish flag was centered.
I don't think the Scottish people want to leave as much as Alex but they will get more power no doubt. To be honest Alex digusts me and is a little weasel who is lying to people when he claims Scotland will be better off outside the UK because economists have told him different.
I was going to disagree and began formulating an argument in my head, then it hit me what you were doing.
And it was 2024. 
I prefer this:
Much more accurate, and random.

It seems to me that the easiest solution, from a purely vexillological standpoint, would be to keep the existing design, but substitute the black field from the Flag of St. David for the blue field of the Flag of St. Andrew. Like so:
That's hardly perfect, but it would offer the advantage of avoiding really major changes, while adding a Welsh element, in place of the Scottish element.
ETA: Of course, my suggestion is not nearly as funny as TheGodBen's.
plus, it looks badass.
Being the massive flag fan I am, I forgot about the Blue belong to Scotland as well.
I know it's a quick rendering on your behalf and please don't take this personally, but that just looks utterly shite.
I hope to dear sweet Jebus that Scotland never leaves and we don't get this crapfest of a flag.

On the other hand, this is rather cool and it does add that Welshness that is lacking.
All it needs is a skull in the middle.
Am sure the people who find themselves worser off will disagree. Scotland is still a country just like Wales and Northern Ireland, the UK makes us stronger but were still our own countries.
I have litle doubt the Tory party care about Scotland leaving the union because that would give them a death grip on Westminster.
They want to be inderpendent from the UK but they still wish to keep the Queen... - Wouldn't it be great if they just made up their mind, be British or fend for yourselfs, no Queen! - Become a republic like Ireland by all means, just no Queen. - What's the point of Westminister if they're just going to make Holyrod anyway?
Since the flag is a result of the Act of Union I wonder if they'd throw out the entire thing if Scotland leaves.
And if Scotland goes, would Irish reunification become more likely, a Balkanization of the Isles?
