Neither would I but I also wouldn't bet
That Britian will be fine. First thing we'll see - already seeing - will be multiple UKexit votes. I think Scotland will soon vote to leave the UK. And Northern Ireland will be close behind. Maybe Wales. And England won't have much standing to stop it.
Maybe the EU is in trouble too - this populist nationalism all over the world could drive more members to try to leave. Or not, with new members from the former UK looking to join. Either way I think there's a good chance England winds up diminished. Maybe materially. Might very well see the London Financial center begin to migrate away to other shores.
I have trouble seeing how this ends well for the Brits, although it will take a while to all play out. I have an easier time seeing some very dire potential outcomes for them, whether or not the EU flourishes from here.
