The UK had the most Europ-skpetic vote in the EU Parliment - its something that Boris and his cornies never mention, they constantly got overruled since they were always against anything that allowed the EU project to move forward. The UK will go on fine just like The republic of Congo is doing fine. The EU for a long time has provided great boost in wealth for about 40 years. Its only due to the financial crisis that things have not been really great lately. However the European Project is much larger than any single nation state or generation of people. Given the change that has been happening over the last 50 years, do you think trade, movement of labor is going to decrease in the next 100 years ? America is an economical powerhouse with 3/5 of Europe's population. Same goes for China. Even India has more clout when it it dealing with american companies since the consumer base has more value. Europe has two paths, one is disintegration and one is faster and more united integration. The important thing from the Perspective of British interest is that both path leads to Britain being a loser. If the European Project fails then Britain is going to suffer as much as any other European country ( one of the reason why britain's foreign policy for 400+ years has been promoting continued stability in Europe ) And if Europe goes down a path of deeper integration the UK will be a competitor to a trading bloc that is essentially is a giant Star ( 15 Trillion vs 2 Trillion ) The EU also has plans for integration with Turkey, a country with the largest land army in Europe. As much as british people think of Turkey as a joke - its one of the fastest growing economy in the world. Who do you think will have more leverage when forging trade deals with the middle east ? Turkey and Friends or the UK ? The thing that most british people do not seem to realize is how small 55 million is - in a flat world of 7 billion people. It used to be different, but not anymore.
