Of course the UK will be fine. The doomsday rhetoric is completely out of hand.

The EU is going to fragment and crumble over the next ten years. And Europa will be, if not fine then at least better for it.

interfixus' point is that the EU crumbling is a good thing for everyone involved, hence not a "doomsday".

Exactly, yes, thank you. I assumed that was obvious, but I can see how it wouldn't necessarily be to someone coming from another direction.

The EU will probably strengthen after brexit.

Watch out what you wish for.

If the eu falls there will be huge economic suffering, it will mean almost certain war, and probably an invasion by Putin in the east after he takes Ukraine.
