That is my great fear too - obviously I do want my own country to be successful, but it might be better for Europe generally if we do crash and burn.I don't think we did it do for these reasons, but pre-Brexit there was a suggestion that the UK carried on as projected it could have a go at matching Germany. We all know the Italian economy hasn't got much longer to live, I'm not overly optimistic about Spain or France either, if those deadweight Germany that's going to be problem....and then there's Greece, which is never going to be fine inside the Euro. I think there's about a 50:50 chance that either the UK implodes into a whimper, or it implodes into a Black Hole that sucks everything in, it'll largely depend on the critical mass of London I suspect. If the UK basically runs it's own economic non-political EU then yes I can see theoretically how were going to suck everyone on over to the dark side.
I can only apologise for being such utter bastards quite honestly, but in order to survive I suspect we're going to attempt a much more ruthless, less paternalistic EU Mark II where their aren't any proper rules.
