Populist parties are on the rise, and many of them have made anti-EU noises in the past. However, with Brexit, they've got very quiet about leaving the EU.
If Brexit does go ahead, I expect it will be sufficiently unpleasant that no-one else will want to leave.
*like creating the condition for, aggravating and then arbitrating the Greece crisis; like creating a huge slowdown on good consumption driving inflation with quantitative easing; like bargaining with france to turn an eye down their own violations of the stability pact while imposing restriction on anyone else.
the EEC was a great idea. the EU, not so much. it's about time it gets soundly reformed.

The UK would fall apart even further after the Brexit; there's likely to be another Scottish referendum and they're likely to leave the UK and rejoin the EU.
I don't think this is particularly likely, because the EU doesn't want more countries leaving. Maybe Hungary will, but only if Orban goes completely off the rails.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. What happens in the UK depends on how chaotic the Brexit process gets.
Greece actually campaigned for it and the EU imposed more austerity instead.
