To EU, or Not to EU. . .

As Britain hand counts and tallies their votes on whether to remain or leave the EU, Europe and the rest of the world waits to see the fate of this economic experiment.
Admittedly, I'm not as vested in or knowledgeable about the proposed pros and cons of the initiative, but my basic knowledge and common sense tells me it's best for all of Europe for Britain to remain, being it's arguably the strongest of all EU members. 
Should they vote to pull out, I'm fairly certain the whole EU will crumble and those countries struggling will find themselves in a financial predicament of certain implosion.  Greece is already there.  I imagine Italy wouldn't be far behind.
I heard once someone say something along the lines of, in this global world and economy, that unlike most eras of the past, what happens in one country's back yard is certainly the business of other countries.  I can't think of another case where this is more evident for Europe and the world than the current referendum being decided by Great Britain at this moment.
Polls shows them staying in the EU by about 4% of the vote.
But thinking of polls from this year's American Democratic primary, specifically in Michigan than showed Secretary Clinton beating Vermont Independent Sanders by 13%, in where he beat her by 14%. That's way outside the margin of error.  And it shows a new method of polling might be best not only here, but worldwide.
I'll update this as Britain counts their ballots.
Long live the Queen!
