What would happen if Britain left the EU?

A British exit, or Brexit, would have implications for jobs, immigration, growth, and trade. Would Britain thrive without the rules of EU membership or would it suffer from weaker trade and investment? Further, what would be the effect of Brexit on the EU, especially as some estimate Britain will overtake Germany as the most populous and productive country in Europe within a few decades? Does the EU lend its gravitas to Britain or vice versa?
