I believe that Europe without Britain at the heart will be less reform-driven, less open, less international Europe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I personally hope and wish that Britain will stay part and parcel of the European Union.
I hope Britain stays in the European Union, but I don't want to decide for the British.
The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.
It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.
I can't foretell the future, but I don't believe that the act of leaving the European Union would make our economic position worse; I think it would make it better.
You can suddenly have a series of countries waking up and saying, 'I want the same status as the Brits,' which will be, de facto, the dismantling of the rest of Europe.
A U.K. vote to exit the European Union could have significant economic repercussions.
Being in the European Union has its advantages, and I think that is what the British are beginning to understand, what those who are tempted by the Brexit are going to reflect upon.
I believe the United Kingdom will be worse off outside the E.U. It will not have the influence it has in the world today.
I would like a UK fully engaged in Europe, but I can't decide in place of the British. I see that for the moment they want to be more in retreat.
