    Facts: 1. UK is member of EU 2. UK people voted yes for the referendum to leave EU 3. After this, UK is _still_ member of EU! Cameron: "...there is no need for a precise timetable today..." Let's see what happens (or not) next.

      Wrong! As long as the British government did not formally submits his resignation in Brussels, it remains for the time being as it was. [Edit Keep in mind Google helped me] In the broadest sense similar to a divorce of a married couple. Even if they both agree to divorce ... as long as the contract has not officially terminated, the couple remains married. So it is with such contracts ;)

      If we do it now we are at a disadvantage. We will wait for the markets to settle - appoint our negotiation team and do it then.

        Not me, why I should? What is my interesting that UK joins EU? I'm living in Switzerland and we are also not in EU. But ... we should all/both be in a Thing like EEA.

          In other words: cherry picking. The same thing is accused of Switzerland.

              Oooh sorry missed that you are from US... of course than not. Of course in US it is still common that North will still use the south as slaves. The only difference to before is the Location of the meridian :-O Recognized as off Topic.

                I'm from the UK. Just don't think Freedom of Movement for people works when we don't have equal states. We need immigration yes but not on an un-checked scale. The common currency and other EU factors mean that more people from Italy say come to work in the UK than the other way round.

                  Yes yes, I see all these Problems also (and in Switzerland we feel this much more or at least equal than any other European Country; about 20%...). But still on my (very advanced) Age I see more chances if the European countries works together. I don't like EU but in my opinion an EEA is very ok. And thank you that you have overlooked my inappropriate comment before.

                    The problem is it has to be all or nothing. The Euro doesnt work with a lot of the poorer countries. To make it work they have to create one single Country - they won't do that.

                      Most voted because "I like that bloke's rhetoric more than the other bloke's". That's the problem with referenda: too many morons drag themselves out of their couches and vote.

                      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
