Brexit

To believe that the Brexit will fail on legal grounds?

It seems that under the European Union Act 2011, a Brexit will require not only a referendum but also an act of parliament to implement the decision and, given that apparently 75% of MPs were in the remain camp and will be free to vote as a matter of conscience, I cannot see the relevant legislation being passed.

So, in the words of Mark Twain, 'Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated'!

So at the moment - off the top of my head- we have no idea how to:

Plan our food security
Plan our migration/immigration strategy
Plan our fiscal strategy - including plugging the holes the EU subsides will leave
Plan our STEM strategy outside of the EU
Plan our legal strategy - unpicking EU laws

There are obviously a lot more. But we need to plan and set out our ideals BEFORE negotiation happens. And people think we should trigger A50 - utter madness

Have you any idea how long just the planning takes before negotiations? It can take years - especially if you look at option planning too...
