How about the UK taking the lead on setting up a new Euro-club, 'EU2' with those outside of the Euro Zone or not in the EU at all, so say UK, Switzerland,Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland etc.,
The thing that you dont understand is that most of the countries you mention are working to the same EU rules and regulations already to trade with the EU and most have no interest what so ever to rock the boat. Interestingly I can think of 5 things that are issues for the UK: NHS, border control (immigration), rules from the EU, housing, the European court of human rights, devolution. Now let's look at all of them:
  1. NHS: a UK issue that UK has messed up for years
  2. border control: a UK issue that will get worse as all Customs posts will be moved back to mainland UK
  3. Rules from the EU: most rules will still apply if you want to trade with Europe (see Switzerland)
  4. Housing shortage: an internal UK thing that the past and current UK governments!
  5. European court of Human rights: this is not eu related and would still be applicable as it was ratified by the UK in the late 50s
  6. Devolution: the Scots will join the EU as fast as possible and the EU will be happy for them to join. England? Well that is a country that is not so welcome if alone to ensure that all the big firms in London move to Paris, Frankfurt and Dublin first! Wales: as the biggest recipient of EU subsidies has an interest to get back in asap. Northern Ireland... joining the other Ireland??? http://www.ibtimes.com/what-would-br...s-2016-2244089
So what is to gain? But hey let's go and shout stupid stuff... It works for Trump!
