We are in completely uncharted waters in troubled times globally and across the EU. Over 50,000 reads in hours following Brexit with frequent updates of this page. The decisive vote to divorce the UK from the EU will influence the future of an entire generation of business people. There is no official mechanism for leaving the EU: it has never been done before and there are no guidelines or procedures defined in law - in either the UK or in Brussels. (Comment by Patrick Dixon, Brexit keynote speaker - Brexit strategy advisor).
Brexit will have a profound impact on the future direction of the EU and is likely to trigger multiple, complex global events. Just the fact that such a Brexit vote took place was already having an impact elsewhere across the EU before voting began. For example, on 26th February 2016, an opinion poll in Denmark showed that most Danes want to have a vote of their own.
And there is a significant risk of contagion - spread of uncertainty and fear, into chaos, into instabilities in currencies and economies, radical shifts in business strategies... In a globalised world, such things can spread at the speed of light.
The longer term future of the EU and the future of the UK will both be driven by a single word, more powerful than economics, or innovation, and that word is of course “emotion”, linked to the most important single human force in the world today which is TRIBALISM.
