Exactly. It is a good way, for Hollande, Merkel, Dutch government, etc., to weaken the anti UE parties, like FN, and to warn any other country about the consequences.
But UK won't leave in fact before 2 years (according the the UE rules). At first, it needs to write an official letter asking to resign. Then, it will be a hard and long process to renegotiate all the current treaties and settings…
Concerning the status of UK trades in UE it won't be very advantageous. Even Swiss is more bound to UE laws than UK now, for Swiss had accepted the free circulation of people (except Croatia).
So I wonder if UK will be more in the internal European trading than USA…
One thing is sure, they will make it very difficult for UK to trade in EU. This country depends on import. The low value of pound makes import very expensive, which leads to serious inflation. Inflation cause interest rate to go up, which causes recession. This recession is going to be long and destructive. This becomes worst because now the country must compete against EU, which it can not. The future seems to be very gloomy especially when the case of Scotland and N Ireland becomes nasty.
