The day after the EU-UK referendum, leaders will attempt to control political risks of a different nature, depending on the outcome.
European Council President Donald Tusk recently claimed that a “Brexit could be the beginning of the destruction of not only the EU but also of Western political civilization in its entirety.” While the prediction behind this activist view favoring a Remain vote seems overly dramatic, such a declaration illustrates that all eyes are now fixed on Britain.
When Britons go to the polls on 23 June, their vote will mark the end of an epic political battle that will leave deep scars in society, whatever the outcome.
