This is 2016 Will, not 1949. NATO constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its member states agree to 'mutual defence' in response to an attack by any external party, and that policy will most certainly continue after we have left the European Union, as will our trade with Europe.
In all honesty, I don't really see the UK ever leaving the EU, come what may but, if we vote to stay in, the EU will have got it all their own way, thanks to Cameron and his Chamberlain act. I don't think Boris is really serious about leaving the EU either, although he is serious no doubt about having his eyes on No.10.
When the vote goes the way of the Brexiters, there will be much negotiating to be carried out, Cameron will most likely resign (he's had enough anyway), Boris will become PM.
The EU will have to come up with something better to satisfy the British people - for their own sakes too, because if Britain leaves the EU, the whole lot could well begin the crumble, as if it isn't already.
