And perhaps most worrying of all, it might deny Britain the positive role it currently plays in Europe as a force for free trade and democratic accountability.

That is bass ackwards. Britain has the luxury of retreating behind its island shores when the continent's historically nasty habit of going wrong happens.
The battle of the European Union is over. Let the battle of Britain begin. The British way of life depends upon it.
