How'd you think that vote would have gone?
We -are- in that position. The US States and the EU States have more in common than right wingers on either side of the pond like to admit. Just as Texas and the UK have alot in common, in context, main difference between them being that Texas isn't foolish enough to -act- on it's secessionist day-dreams...nor does anyone there actually believe that it would strike a mortal blow if they left, or if we withheld or severely taxed trade between us and the newly minted them.
You will not be negotiating from a position of power...that is an imperialist brit fantasy. You will be negotiating for sympathy, you've just impoverished yourselves. The only play is to try and make the EU seem like a big bad meanie and stir shit with it's remaining member states. Which is exactly what your reps did, when they took the floor last...with scotland begging and britain passive-aggresively asking for a handout.
