Most countries have shifted on the comfortability after the referendum
This has resulted in general confusion with many political parties across Europe and the west. Result has been the growing popularity of more extreme parties. Donald Trump, Marie Le Penn, Syria and Austria all rather far Left wing or far Right wing. Europes recent issues are causing difficult issues-immigration, Italian banking problems, over reliance on strength of german economy, Russia and Ukraine and US and Europe TTIP failure. There is reluctance for the UK to change track or alter its direction, Europe is concerned that unless there is a change in the way EU manages its self, it will become dominated by Germany (money)... more states will or may want to leave, especially if the UK is successful.
Brexit negotiations no one is wanting to cut off UK from Europe or vice versa.
Other European problems
-USA Canada China India - problems with trade to Europe
-Russia, Ukraine, Syria, Belarus also problems for Europe
-Energy Issues, Europe hasn't got much oil, we gain majority from trading, mainly from Russia
-Immigration and Unemployment both linked together (immigrate to work = less jobs more people)
