Brexit: Leave Voters Want Other Countries To Follow Suit
Article 50
There are an incredible amount of unknowns lying ahead for a UK outside of the European Union. The political and social earthquake triggered by the June 23 referendum result is still rumbling on and is only set to get stronger as the formal process begins today with the triggering of Article 50. One of these unknowns is the knock-on effect the UK leaving will have. With the current rise of Euroscepticism across the union, Brexit may well lead to Frexit, or Italexit or any number of other laboured 'country+exit' combinations. For those that voted to leave the EU, at least, this scenario is apparently favourable. An Ipsos MORI poll in February revealed that 65 percent of 'leavers' would prefer to see other countries exit the European Union in the next five to ten years.
