It is against the idea of having the United States of Europe, and that's why Brexit could be the best result for all those (still) believe in integration
Opinions
Keeping the United Kingdom on board is not the solution, so Europe had to wish in a Brexit. Although it can be a paradox, it is not. All the pro-European palyers in the EU have called the British citizens to vote in favour of a staying in the Union. Call it «Bremain» if you really like, do as you wish! But Bremain is not a victory for Europe, on the contrary is a defeat. It is an happy ending only for the banking sector and the stock exchange, for the rest Bremain means the end of the political process in the EU. With a country - the United Kingdom - asking for less integration, the idea of the United States of Europe is gone. Forget about, because it will be an amazing idea just for a dream book. Brits will be there just to stop Europe, living in the idea of having a Great Britain in a small and weak union. They are wrong, as they are those who believe that having avoided a Brexit now everything is safe. Europe wasted the only chance history gave to be stronger and different, instead of carrying on with division, rivalry and blind, egoist national views.
On the contrary Brexit could be the opportunity to push away all those don't want a federal Europe, not only beyond the sea. The continent is plenty of governments, especially in the east, ready to put in question the European Union and call their own referendum at the first occasion. Having the UK outside could be the moment to restart the construction of Europe, by setting new rules valid for everybody, applicable to everybody, and putting an end once and for all to the «opt-out» era. Opt-in should be the only valid rule applicable to all the Member States, and Brexit could offer the opportunity to impose this principle. But Brexit is exactly what the banking sector and the stock exchanged wouldn't appreciate so much, and that's the reason why the majority of the stakeholders (meaning governments, businessmen, enterprises, economists) where pushing for a Remain. The latter is nothing but an illusion everything will be all right. Totally untrue. Europe is over, and the real challenge is to understand what about its future.
