I emphasize this is one of the most optimistic reads on the situation I have seen tonight.

Well, I think it’s good to not over react.

Certainly the likes of Wilders will try to make hay out of this, but the Dutch are not going to commit suicide.

Strangely, this could strengthen the EU once it survives the immediate effects. The UK was always asking for special favors and exceptions, which just muddied the water for any negotiations.

Now without the UK trying to be the special child in the playground, the rest may play together more evenly.
