The EU had no problem ignoring the UK for many years as recently as cameron going to then to strengthen his position before the vote. You should watch some videos of the european parliament Andrew and see not only the growing support for the UK but many members criticising what the EU has become and how it's doing more damage then good. The UK is the first to leave the EU it won't be the last unless there is meaningful and practical reform of the entire institution and whilst i am now firmly anti EU i started out in my adult life as a supporter of the EEC.

The change from the EEC to the EU is huge and no longer represents what many originally supported and the complete inability and arrogance at the top of the EU to understand the feelings of tens of millions of europeans will be it's downfall. Anti EU feeling is on the rise and already the leaders of the two largest members have freely admitted that if their people got a vote on EU membership they would vote to leave. The whole thing is a house of cards and it isn't going to take much more for it to start falling apart and while you view brexit as a disaster when the real disaster does happen we will be well out of it.
