What got you "convinced that Metternich would have been a Brexiteer"? The fact that Metternich didn't like empires seems hardly enough for such an important statement. What would Metternich have had to say about all the other negative consequences, like isolating a country, putting it at the mercy of another empire (USA), just to name a few? Brexit seems to be more like a revolution of the working class, something Metternich would have deeply distrusted.
