...how do you think the UKs fate will differ from that of the rest of europe in the short-term?

...Mainland Europe will descend back into extremism. The UK will likely muddle through again (be the most stable). After all is said and done, the USA will fragment into regions (maybe not within my lifetime though). Europe will sink to third world country lows. Asia will march on to its destiny to be the shiniest of the world in the 21st century...

...The level headed like the Brits don't self destruct...
