I'm going to use an American  college football analogy that might apply.


In 2012 Texas A&M joined the Southeast conference. A brilliant move because it is the best conference in the country with the biggest stadiums. Since that move they expanded their stadium by 20,000 seats(82K to 102K). They increased their budget by 25% and started having regular top 10 recruiting classes something they rarely had in the Big 12 their former conference.


The genius of the move was that instead of being in a conference where they will always play 2nd fiddle to the University of Texas and have to compete with several Texas based team in the SEC they were the only Texas based team in the biggest conference and it made them special.


To be the only major economy in Europe that is not part of the EU makes the UK special. It gives them more flexibility. They are obviously drawn closer to the USA and Canada.


I'm sorry but I do not see how this hurts them. Given their unique history and their ties to the commonwealth of nations all over the world. We will see for sure in 20 years.
