After Brexit (and maybe Frexit), online map shows funniest names to use when anyone else leaves the EU
Eurosceptic parties across the continent demanded referendums after Brexit
Marine Le Pen dubbed ‘Madame Frexit’ for threatening to follow Britain out of EU
Map looks at puns and portmanteaux for other countries which could leave EU
Brexit caused something of a political earthquake and in its wake, Eurosceptic parties across the continent intensified demands for their own referendums.
Shortly after the result was announced last year, French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen called for a 'Frexit' vote while the far-Right Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders called for a 'Nexit'.
There were also fears that Brexit could also trigger a Czexit, a Swexit, and a Grexit in the Czech Republic, Sweden and Greece.
Now a new map has looked at a host of puns and portmanteaux for the other countries which could follow suit.
The map, created by Reddit Bezzleford, depicts all the possible names for various countries should they leave the EU.
They include Noland, Quitaly, Extonia, Withdrawsaw and Czech-out.
In recent months, countries have experienced a surge in Euroscepticism emboldened by Brexit.
A poll last year suggested that 36 per cent of Swedes would be in favour of 'Swexit' if Britain were to leave.
Last May, an Ipsos Mori poll revealed that more than half of French and Italian citizens want a referendum, and the same number believed there would be a 'domino effect' if Britain were to leave.
