People keep bashing on about the referendum giving a 'true' democratic decision on leaving the EU and, yep, even though it was only a 17:16:13 win (the 13 being ambivalent non-voters), I agree that its right that we follow through (although its a ridiculously small minded and stupid thing to do ). But those thinking that brexit was just a simple on-off light switch had/have their heads in cloud cuckoo land; its much more of a dimmer switch where we all have to agree a balanced amount of light required (haha crap analogy stretched to its limit).
Shouldn't you be off up PYG shortly

It could be simpler Stolly.

We could just declare article 50 and say we don't want anything from the EU and just focus on WTO trade terms and keep it simple.
There is a chance it will be that anyway.
That way we avoid any of the extended horse trading that will inevitably follow and two years of the Commons taking mock umbrage.

What it will do then is give clean starting position for a future Govt to work with the EU on issues that can be put in to manifestos.
