I really, really would like to hear some positive situations that have come about because of the Brexit vote.
It has made the British political elite realise that a lot of the country doesn't agree with them, and finally destroyed the illusion that Northern working class voters will stick with Labour no matter how much the party shits on them.
It's also changed the debate in other EU countries, most notably Italy and Greece, though their focus is more geared towards leaving the euro. But Brexit has given them the confidence to consider that their euro zone plight is not necessarily a hotel california scenario.
These, I think, are positive things. Had Britain voted remain, I could see the situation in Greece particularly being perceived as a permanent new reality that may have very well led to a violent uprising and then a possible junta. And then you end up with problems with Turkey again.
Personally, I think Brexit may have very well diluted what could have been an unholy EU trans-european mess further down the line. But then there's always the possibility it has created another type of unholy mess in its wake. We won't really know for another fifty years or more.
But personally, I am worried about the EU and the impact of the euro on Club Med and I am very worried about German attitudes and Club Med perceptions. It all reminds me of Thatcher's argument that unemployment in the North was the price to pay for low inflation in the South, though in this case, the polarities are reversed and we are talking about a continent of hundreds of millions rather than a country of around 55 million (at the time) .
