My own view is that, sadly, the EU is in the process of falling apart & that it would fall apart whether the UK were inside or outside the EU.
If I were a passenger on the London Eye & spotted the rivets falling out of the hub I would want to get off. In the same way I voted for Brexit.
If I am right then there are very serious problems ahead for Europe (and Brexit will be a minor irritation for them in comparison).

27 countries have to agree to the terms of any deal - that will never happen. So, whatever happens in the next two years, the simple fact is that an acceptable deal will never be approved by the EU, and in two years Britain will walk away. A so called hard Brexit.
During the next two years trade deals with the USA and the rest of the world will be drafted ready for implementation the instant we walk away from the EU, and, of course, we will be better off by no longer having to pay the EU

hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Yep, those little old trade deals are such a doddle to negotiate and implement.
So provision for the sick and elderly isn't already being massively harmed by the 333 thousand plus people arriving in the UK every year, many of them unskilled and lacking fluency in English? So we might become a tax haven like Luxembourg or the Bahamas? Sounds OK to me. Quitting the EU socialist wet dream is what the UK voted for. If it doesn't happen then all faith in democracy will die and the consequences of that are incalulable.
What a dismal article. I'm with runningmate and Graham Rimmer.
I have great faith in UK business to adapt whatever the outcome.
I don't know where abandoning hope for the poor, sick and elderly came from. It wasn't part of the Prime Minister's speech. Sounds more like project doom.
Sorry, Simon, only the Remainers were interested in the Norway option, etc. Leavers have more confidence in our country's ability both to prosper economically and look after our own people than you clearly do. There's plenty of the vision thing around for post-Brexit Britain but you are obviously too depressed to notice.
What is shocking is that we are going to have 2 more years of this and even then we don't know what we'll get, but I do not blame May for this.
The former leaders, Cameron and Osborne etc, should be locked up for negligence of the highest order after undertaking Zero contingency planning in the event of a leave vote. It's a disgrace.
Let get out now before the whole thing collapses and we have to pay to sort it out.
We were promised fundamental reform and treaty change before the vote by a man who promised to trigger Article 50 if we voted to leave. Sadly he didn't deliver but happily we got the vote.
I don't see anything bleak in becoming a self governing democracy free of EU tyranny once again. This was a vote for democracy not for tyrants or opinion pollsters.
