To preserve an national identity, has nothing wrong. They decide on their own future, and willing to pay for it. The trick, is do they aware of the cost? Do they sure the outcome of their choice?
I am not sure the impact is transitional. Britain will survive for sure, but will it much worst-off, for a very long time in the future?
