Brexit Is The End Of The New World Order As We Know It, And I Feel Fine

The left couldn’t be more perturbed about the UK’s exit from the European Union this morning. President of the European Council Donald Tusk blustered, “That’ll have consequences, and I don’t believe other countries will be encouraged to follow that dangerous path.” German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel called Brexit a “bad day for Europe.” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said he was “sad for the United Kingdom.” Paul Krugman of The New York Times complained:

It seems clear that the European project – the whole effort to promote peace and growing political union through economic integration – is in deep, deep trouble. Brexit is probably just the beginning, as populist/separatist/xenophobic movements gain influence across the continent.
