Voters in France, Italy and the Netherlands are demanding their own votes on European Union membership and the euro, as the continent faces a contagion of referendums.
EU leaders fear a string of copycat polls could tear the organisation apart, as leaders come under pressure to emulate David Cameron and hold votes.
It came as German business leaders handed a considerable boost to the Leave campaign by saying it would be very, very foolish to deny the UK a free trade deal after Brexit.
Markus Kerber, the head of the BDI, which represents German industry, said that 1970s-style trade barriers would result in job losses in Germany.
Imposing trade barriers, imposing protectionist measures between our two countries or between the two political centres, the European Union on the one hand and the UK on the other would be a very, very foolish thing in the 21st century.

Last night, I thought that the Eastern European countries would be the first in line to do their own Brexit. I believed this due to the migrants flooding over their countries. These three countries, kind of, surprise me.
May Iman Obama become another Bill Clintoon re his political backing. Basically, everything/person Clintoon has backed has lost big in an open election.
“Lame duck Barack Jug-Ears Obama should embark on a Goodbye Tour in Europe.
He should travel to each EU country to advise them against voting to leave the EU.
He could have a significant impact.
After all - Look what he did for Britain...”
Normal God fearing productive people in the US need to either take over the gov’t or secede.
Exactly.
The EU had a good exemplars to follow. The United States. Switzerland.
A federal system with narrowly defined powers for the central government. A list of rights that cannot be breached.
Instead, they quickly moved to a bureaucratic, unelected oligopoly, whose model was the nanny state.
Yep, they’re going to prove their existence is completely a manufactured need. Cut yourself from them and you realize you never needed them, false dependency.
The EURO should be eliminated with a return to national currencies. Greece is a prime example. They cannot devalue their currency to help themselves get out of their economic doldrums. The Euro waits them down like an anchor.
Instead, they quickly moved to a bureaucratic, unelected oligopoly, whose model was the nanny state.
Yep, it took us 200 years more or less to get to get to the nanny state.
But the European countries had a head start. They were all nanny states when they joined.
If they had simply left it as the “Common Market”, which the UK voted to join, then most of Europe would be relatively booming now.
But, politicians being politicians, the EU kept on voting to expand it's own power and no one stopped them. This was helped by the fact that almost all of the candidates for the MEP positions were pro-Europe.
Clearly the EU Commissioners knew about the British disdain of the EU, and they knew a referendum was forthcoming. And still they could not budge.
They are just as idiotic and authoritarian as the pre-Reformation Popes. And we know how that ended....
I agree. She has more hands up her @ss manipulating her than Miss Piggy.
First world countries with good benefits for doing nothing are always the destination goals of Muslim “migrants”. Those who can’t afford to be generous to leeches are merely pass-through points.
My reaction to the morning's headlines was,
Thank you, British cousins, for having the nerve.
They were told the EU would be Great and all they got was the USSR
Especially when you look at the string of corrupt pre-Reformation Popes who were obsessed with building political and economic power to the neglect of affairs of the Church.
By the time the 30 years war ended (1648), these corrupt Popes were gone and the new breed was concentrated on affairs of the Church and saving Europe from the invasion of Muslim hordes later that same century.
There was neither an evil nor a corrupt Pope elected until Pope Frank came on the scene just three years ago when the College of Cardinals felt it would be fashionable to elect one from a third world country (Argentina) who still had ancestral ties to a traditional country (Italy).
She is Jeb in a dress. Thank G-d we dodged that hot mess and if I am correct we will dodge Kim Jung Shrill...
Well, they’ve voted for Grexit how many times now? How well has that worked out for them? Germany won’t let them go.
It is a preview of November. Mr. Trump in the White House.

I’ve lost a lot of money on paper this morning over this exit; however, the destruction of the EU when the other member nations abandon it is a good thing.
The pompous EU who ordered nations to take in Muslims is a good reason to destroy it. Angela Merkel, being a good little chubby statist and a NWO cheerleader needs to have the German people toss her into the Rhine.
Next, the destruction of the UN is in order.
Then, the expulsion of ALL Muslims in the west. Muslims should NEVER be permitted to emigrate to a non-Muslim nation.
You can’t stuff fundamentalist and radical islam down the throats of westernized people and expect them to think it is just fine and dandy.
Whether France, Britain, Germany, or the good ole USA, we want to keep OUR culture and have only people who want to become part of us and who love us to settle in our country.
Why should we accept slavers, women abusers, murderers, and Islamic executions into our midst?
Only an already enslaved person would put up with that.
