I hope the UK remains stable and grows even after leaving the EU. It's sad to see the most common sentiment among remain voters is to hope everything about the UK will crash and burn because results weren't what they expected.
My thoughts exactly. To be honest, I'll be surprised if we do actually leave the EU. Even the staunchest leavers seemed a bit worried this morning about what happens next.
In the short run, things will be bad. In the long run, nobody has any idea. It's the medium term where the real threats lie - how long it takes to leave, what terms we get from the EU, and how eager the rest of the world is to set up direct relationships with us.
I'm not going to rule out that the EU will see this as such an existential threat that they will change enough that a future government will be able to make the case for staying in after all. I know that Juncker said no to that, but today has made his position untenable as well.
