Europeans face a huge challenge

The majority of Britons have voted to leave the European Union, which is like a political earthquake for Europe. As to the level of damage it would cause, it will be no less than the upheaval brought about by Europe's financial and sovereign debt crisis in 2008-09, which still continues.
The EU prevented the exit of Greece, but failed to keep the UK within its fold.
The "Leave" vote shows the UK has refused to accept the terms the EU set for it in February - that Britain would be treated as a special member of the bloc, comprising 28 countries and 500 million people.
