I read it differently. I read it as France (and several others) want Britain to submit the “divorce notice” as soon as possible, but Britain is delaying right now. Every day they delay there are people speculating that British government is going to ignore the referendum results. Once the Brits have sent in the notification it is known that it is a done deal and there are no backsies.
If you read the comments in other brexit threads then about half the people believe referendum is going to be ignored. That is why I believe it is better for all parties if Brits stop delaying and send in the notification ASAP.
After the notification is sent the countdown to 2 year deadline to iron out the details starts.
We may not need to initiate article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
We can ask the EU to write a new article; one that defines associate membership (on agreed terms) and that moves the UK into that status. This will include such items as reconfirming passport status on financial operations.
Being the EU's largest internal customer gives us the ability to negotiate this sort of thing.
If the vote was mainly about immigration, and the voters’ wishes are truly respected, then why would Britain allow 2 more years of Muslim immigration??
