World leaders in shock, EU to look inward, as Britain votes to go

DUTCH ANTI-IMMIGRATION LEADER GEERT WILDERS

"We want be in charge of our own country, our own money, our own borders, and our own immigration policy ... As quickly as possible, the Dutch need to get the opportunity to have their say about Dutch membership of the European Union."

ANTON BOERNER, HEAD OF GERMANY'S FOREIGN TRADE ASSOCIATION

"That is a catastrophic result for Britain and also for Europe and Germany, especially the German economy. It is disturbing that the oldest democracy in the world turns its back on us."

THILO BRODTMANN, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF GERMANY'S VDMA ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION

"Brexit will hurt investor confidence in Europe as an industrial centre."

A BRITISH OFFICIAL WORKING AT THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION:

"It's the Brussels bubble who is shocked. There were signs. Nothing has changed, it's going to take some time before we know what will happen."
