I think the most important outcome is to ensure :-

(1) EU remain intact

(2) Graceful retreat of Britain - with more elegant re-integration with EU

(3) EU continue to evolve to maximise the Economic Benefits of the EU Union - while trying to sugar-coat and polish all the rough edges of the Union - to make EU a better Economic integration, Social integration, Political integration - and a better Economic and Trade Blocs that have more win-win integration with other Countries in the World.

This should be a better outcome for EU.

Most important thing is that those citizens in the respective Countries who are left out, sidelined or crowd out by the EU union - should be given more help by the respective Countries Government to ensure everyone benefit and no one is left behind.

Only then, will there be less people throwing spanner on the EU union and more support for the EU integration - and no impetus to do another similar Brexit.

Most important, both EU members and Britain must take constructive steps to prevent a turmoil in the EU economy and trigger a domino effect.

Because a turmoil in EU economy, will also trigger a turmoil in the World Economy.

And presidential candidate like Donald Trump fail to recognise this - and in fact instigate an EU turmoil.

So wonder if Donald Trump a right presidential candidate?

US will shudder, the World is shuddering.

The World need to recognise that Capitalism and Market Economy with Globalisation will trigger a Pyramid outcome of income status and social status --- whereby many people will be at the base of the Pyramid, where some will be somewhere in the middle of the Pyramid and very few at the top of the Pyramid.

With majority at the base and in the middle - and with one people, one vote democratic system ---- do you think democratic Countries all over the World - will not be thrown into a turmoil - if entirely left to "Invisible Hand", "Laissez Faire" and let the market economy dictate the outcome and life of the people?

Government need to be actively involve in, and intervention is needed to do :-

(1) redistribution of wealth

(2) actively find jobs for those that are driven out of jobs

(3) create jobs for those jobless

and other intervention ---- to ensure that sound, tested economic, social policies can continue to function properly without Government losing power.

This is increasingly so when robots and automation are rapidly replacing human jobs.
