The benefits of Brexit https://www.economist.com/node/21786900?frsc=dg%7Ce

It's the first time EU is taking another route that would have been blocked by Britain. Imagine the counterfactual.

Any government of the past 30 years would have said no, argues Ivan Rogers, the UK's former ambassador to EU

Britain being gone changes it in a few ways. The critics have less weight. The frugal four may wield vetoes, but they are 42m. Plus some governments sit in coalition with europhilic colleagues, watering down opposition.

Other big change is that One Size Fits All EU is back on table. Assumption was that the eurozone would be vehicle for deeper integration. Now Britain, most weirdly shaped member, has left.

There is still going to be a big old brawl.
