I fear the EU imploding while we're still part of it. That's the scary scenario.
That's along the lines of (and about as realistic as) "getting divorced isn't a problem - there's lots of attractive people out there who will want to go out with me". It doesn't matter how powerful/good looking you once were, it's how you are today that counts.

It's not that simple - the world is increasingly globalised, made up of large trading blocs, which have greater negotiating power over individual countries; the exceptions to this being the USA and China due to there large economic bases and populations.

If it's you against the world, bet on the world...
