England should feel the consequences for voting to leave the EU.

93. Unfortunately what you propose would just strengthen that nationalism

"The beatings will continue until morale improves" is supposed to be a satirical phrase, not an actual strategy. All that "punishing" the UK will do is lead to the movers behind Brexit claiming that they were right all along and strengthening support for them among the British. That's how it works. Look at Germany's response to the punishing terms of Versailles. It didn't make the Germans bow their heads and feel sorry, it made them feel like beleaguered victims of international oppression and fueled the rise of the Nazis.

Nationalism feeds off of outside intervention and "punishment." It's a philosohy that requires itssubject nation to be a great nation being victimized by lesser nations. You can't "punish" a nation out of nationalism - if you could, I assure you that the middle east would be a peaceful utopia.

No. the UK will take the fallout from this vote. And that's what will happen. That's all that need happen. Piling on will just make the problem worse and lend power to the nationalists.
