#4 This strikes me as another case of Britain trying to live down to her size.

Back in the day, Britain punched light years above her weight. Ever since WWII (really WWI started it) they've been moving down faster and faster to the status of light-weight that their size and economy would suggest is proper.

With the victory of the EU Britain will finally achieve the status of a New York or Illinois. Which is probably only fitting, if saddening.
