The temper tantrum begins...
My response to this would be a) cut off all payments to the EU immediately and b) make Nigel Farage Prime Minister.
A senior EU leader has confirmed the bloc wants Britain out as soon as possible, warning that David Cameron’s decision to delay the start of Brexit negotiations until his successor is in place may not be fast enough.

Cameron announced on Friday morning that he would step down as prime minister by the autumn, after the British public caused a political earthquake by voting 52%-48% to leave the European Union.

Martin Schulz, the president of the European parliament, told the Guardian that EU lawyers were studying whether it was possible to speed up the triggering of article 50 of the Lisbon treaty ‐ the untested procedure for leaving the union.
I'm gonna have a smile all damn day now.

#1 How about America out of NATO just as quick? The wall has been down for twenty years. Let them pick their own future with their own pocketbooks.

#2 Posturing. Untangling Britain from the EU will no doubt take a good deal longer than the two years prescribed... and that from the date Parliament votes to pass the bill into law, not the date of the vote.. The Brexit vote was a mere referendum, a sense of the people, if you will. Like us, Britain is a representative democracy.

#4 I've advocated for a while that the US should get out of the military wing of NATO, just as France did in the 1960s. We can go to the political meetings and smile a lot. But let Europe be responsible for Europe, and let the UK be responsible for the UK.
