> *That is a clear vote against a Europe that is not about democracy or peace, but solely about trade regulations and the interests of big corporations.
Agreed - but I don't believe it will affect the influence of corporations on Brits very much. They have a stranglehold on the UK government just as much as on the EU and a smaller entity is probably easier to influence.
The Brexit would be good for the EU, at least for those who want a centralized, more united, less diversified EU and have been complaining about disagreement on major policies, where GB has often had a controversial position.
You are right, that the Brexit does not help the British. But that is the problem with this voting, it is dominated by illogical feelings. The problem is also not the EU as such, but the governments of the EU countries.
I'm not so sure about the first part. The UK has a much worse trade deficit with the EU than with its trade activities outside the EU. Perhaps local production and consumption will become stronger and compensate loss of (some) EU exports. Wouldn't bet on it though...
