Except the UK won't be happy, because the unhappiness and general feeling of helplessness wasn't caused by the EU, only blamed on the EU.

Plus, you know, either way roughly 50% of the population is going to be unhappy by the outcome of this referendum.

Sorry to hear that: UK has been bitching about the EU for a long time, so I hoped that getting out would just be something to be extremely excited about.

But my other point stands: I think this will definitely be good for the EU, if contagion can be avoided.
