Labour will have a lot of bargaining power after this referendum result.
I don't see the EU being willing to make the kind of concessions we need. Nor do I see Labour as having the resolve to hold out for the deal we want. It will be another case of stay in the EU at any cost.

Leaders will only start to change their minds when voters in their countries start voting to leave the EU.

Might be worth holding off until after the French and German elections, when EU leaders may be more willing and able to go back to being a trading EU of sovereign nations not a politically dominated one.
