Whooooooo are you, ooo ooh, ooo ooh. I really wanna know...

When do we think we'll see the next current EU member state make noises of leaving?

Clearly a lot of support for potential exit in Greece, Sweden, Portugal and others. France started to be talked about a lot too. I recently read that 55% of the French public would like to have the opportunity to vote in an EU membership referendum and that 48% have indicated they'd vote to leave. That's not too dissimilar to what was polled for us and look what happened.

I've got a personal theory that the UK will not actually leave the EU unless there is a glut of other referendums announced over the next month or two.

No other member state will risk a referendum after the UK one.
What makes you say that?

Just today I've already spoken with the American Managing Partner of one of the world's largest law firms, a very senior British Military officer, my Romanian Krav Maga instructor, my Polish cleaner and a French friend and they're all, and I mean all, very positive about the future of an independent UK.

And before you ask, I voted to remain. My wife, a French wine merchant, voted to leave.
