I’m really not looking forward to there being a Johnson in number 10.

Merkel and the EU will never agree to any deal that will give the U.K. true sovereignty.

Hunt wrote a book about privatising the NHS and believes in homeopathy. He isn't fit to run a raffle.

Lisbon Treaty Article 50, legislatively is a poorly structured vague after-thought.

The scenario of a member states departure was never remotely considered. Halloween 2019 and all the treaty instruments/protocols, multi-annual financial framework, and UK contributions to the EU long-term budget just falls away without a ratified withdraw agreement stating otherwise.

Obligations to Treaties, and sovereign debt liabilities have no cause to be in the same sentence, let alone their legitimised equivalence be defined and weaponised as means to extort.

My concern in the event of a clean break is the political damage, and the breakdown in diplomacy. The effects will sour European relations for decades to come. Red-lines and angry red mist. That where we are at.

With the right leadership and policies UK could develop a truly open society and global economic strategy that could herald a prosperous stable future. If only political will and leadership existed.

At this point, it would be foolish for Britain to "renegotiate" any deal with EU. The social political upheaval will be more delays which will make matters worse. Exit first, then negotiate, if must. But as an "independent" country and not as an EU member.

I agree, revoke Article 50.
