That was a consideration a week ago, but since then, EU countries have been galvanised to be more pro-EU.
The pressures that led to Brexit are not unique to the UK, and have been building for many years. Maybe it'll be unique. Maybe it'll be contained. In fact, maybe it won't even happen. It hasn't happened yet. But with at least similar order-of-magnitude probability, maybe by this time next year one to three other countries will have exited to some extent as well. If you mistake your own political inclinations or beliefs for what is actually likely, no-one will save you from the consequences of your error. It's easy to spin Brexit as a fluke, but it's pretty easy to spin it as a bellweather, too.
