On the one hand, as a Dutchman, I don't want the UK to leave the EU. Why not? Because I feel as if The Netherlands and the United Kingdom often agree on the same things. If the UK drops out of the EU, we'll just, basically, have one less ally in the European Parliament, European Commission, etc.
On the other hand, I want the UK to leave. I don't have a very good reason for that: I'm merely interested in what happens in such a scenario. Honestly, I don't think much will happen. You guys might see a temporary reduction in economic growth, but ultimately everybody wants to make money so you'll still have your trade deals with EU countries. At the same time, you guys will save, I believe, not sure, £14 billion/year so even a temporary reduction in economic growth won't be that big of a problem.
The effects of leaving the EU are unknown, but you guys definitely won't fall into anarchy.
I can imagine that it might be very difficult to decide whether to vote 'yes' or 'no'. At this point, if I would be asked to vote for this, I simply wouldn't know what to vote. To our British friends I want to say: best of luck. Whatever the result may be, I hope that the relations between our nations remain good.
