Brexit won't destroy the EU, but it will make it less equal

“Post-Brexit, the Eurozone will represent 85% of the EU’s GDP and 76% of the EU’s population,” says Agata Gostynska-Jakubowska, a research fellow at London-based think tank the Centre for European Reform and an expert on the European institutions.“That would mean that if the Eurozone wanted to vote in a bloc, it could impose decisions on non-Euro area countries.” That wouldn’t please the Eastern Europeans, especially far-right governments like Poland and Hungary that are already frozen out from the EU’s liberal mainstream.

...While that’s not likely to happen soon, there is certainly “growing uneasiness among the non-Eurozone countries,” she says.
