So as the diminished power the UK definitely is, not getting sucked into Europe's plans to be a Grand Power is definitely a good thing. It will either be an empty vessel where some more brass and politicians can semi-retire to and still draw a large salary whilst not upsetting their own national leaders (like the EU parliament) or will try to assert itself and send materiel hither and thither. Either way: have fun! Send a postcard!
Is it better to be a puppet of a Super Power rather than having a massive influence within one?
