My point is merely that he got elected in London which is not an easy thing for a conservative.

UK's decision and how it will be handled will have very big influence over the rest of Europe and will set the agenda for the growing EU opposition here.

The media frames this as an (almost isolated) UK problem but it really is not.

It is about the EU.

Boris is not a conservative in the typical sense though. He's a populist like Trump.

And for at least the next few years it will all be about the UK. In particular all the internal work of redefining its relationship with the EU e.g. diplomatic, trade as well as figuring out what to do about EU regulations.

I would be surprised if any EU country has the appetite to hold another referendum when they see what it is in store.
