nah uk won't thrive, eu will take more and more power over time, there is a rule in europe:

if you are not in the EU or russian and in europe you are a racist a nazi or a hateful islamist/middle easterner/african/asian.

uk won't be able to live against that rule for long.

its basically europe insulting germany to be nazi for 100 years firering back to all other europeans

a deal has been agreed. almost like saying "we need to divorce" but its not till december until we actually part ways. we still have to obide by their laws an current policies and trade agreements. thus no exit yet.
just a mutually agreed divorce

there is no big drama or concern from the UK prospective. the UK will thrive. the only drama for the EU is other countries may drop out. but then EU will try grabbing new countries to replace it.

but thats EU's problem

The United Kingdom officially exited the European Union on 31st January 2020 but both parties are allowing time to strike a trade deal. They have until 31st December 2020 to agree to a UK/EU trade deal which would include all things from banking/finance to import/export customs taxes to visa free travel arrangements and intelligence sharing - and more...

What does the future hold for the EU on the following basis the United Kingdom is no long a member of the EU (Brexit has taken place) and the UK was the biggest EU trading partner in terms of purchasing goods and services from the other EU member states. The EU needs the UK much more than the UK needs the EU.

What would happen to the European Union if - Italy with its right wing and anti-EU government if they went through with their threat to expel Poland from the EU because of recent domestic laws that were passed by their parliament which are against EU laws?

Or what would happen if Italy with its right wing and anti-EU government decided to dump the EURO and reintroduced the Lira as their currency? Or if they went a step further and decided to hold their own referendum about whether to exit the EU or not?

What about Greece? The EU bailouts have tightened its noose around Greece and effectively made it bankrupt and in-debt to the EU which was bankrolled by Germany. If the dump the EURO and reintroduce the Greek Drachma or decide to exit the EU because of all the problems the EU has brought them - then how will the EU modify its model to survive?

The same could apply to all EU member states with Spain maybe likely candidate too if it was not seeking consensus on trying to take sovereignty over Gibraltar and taking advantage of the fact it will have the EU support in its case against a non-EU member such as the United Kingdom.

If just one country upset the system by reverting back to their pre-EURO currency or exited the EU (just as the UK did) then what future would it hold for the EU? Further referendum by other members states just might bring in a vote to leave the EU - thus diminishing the power of the EU and bringing about its demise sooner. Maybe it will exist but in a much smaller capacity that it is now.

What do you see the EU looking like over the next few years? And how would you see the UK during that same period? Personally I see it as the beginning of the end for the EU. What started off as an economic co-operation between a handful of countries in 1957 under the Treaty of Rome creating the EEC morphed in to an almost European Superstate (or United States of Europe) but it was rejected by the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom will now seek free-trade deals with the rest of the international community. Both the EU and the UK are now starting new pages in their history after Brexit.
