If this all somehow works out well, for Britain and even for the rest of the world, I'll call it a fluke. I don't think there's any way anyone could predict with any accuracy a good result from this.
You know, what I am going to say next will sound incredibly harsh and heartless. But the only chance for a united Europe is that this doesn't work out. Otherwise, as there are many strong nationalists all over Europe right now, they will feel encouraged and will be provided with additional ammunition to lure the credulous in. On the same lines I hope, the EU commission stands to it's announcement of not going easy on the UK, as far as upcoming negotiations are concerned.
This wouldn't be a fluke, but a full blown plague. With the very real possibility of returning to nationalism and a continent of borders. To be fucked over by the rest of the world at their leisure.
