Article 50 won't be triggered this year under Gove

[kolata]

So much for the "democratic" will of the people.

The referendum can be ignored as it was decided by senile pensioners and chavs, cant it?
So no art 50 and happy days.

You lot are still in la-la land

The EU doesn't have to do a thing, just wait till investment in the UK dries up and companies start relocating to EUrope to access the larger markets. Then we'll go in with our begging bowl.

Ummm!!!! now lets think about this, Move to France People shouting leave same as Sweden and the Netherlands, and no one who works more than a 30 hour week in France, Italy People shouting leave and up tulip creak with the finances along with Portugal, Greece, and Ireland , what about Romania, Lithuania or Poland not big enough or powerful enough, what about Turkey they should be joining sometime in the next Millennium, so that just leaves Germany, looks like Germany is going to be full up

Great analysis. You reassure me, it's all going to be OK then

it's common sense to me, why would any organisation move to a country that could go down the same route and is controlled by an organisation that is being dragged down by its failing members.

Surely I would be better off learning German if that's where all the jobs are.

Happening already, for quite a while in IBs. Poland has been a very popular choice.

For anyone interested, it's worth watching the most recent Treasury Select Committee hearing, as this takes evidence from a number of respected witnesses who argue that is shouldn't be triggered until next ~spring and possibly not until after the German/French elections, but probably before (politically more palatable in the UK). Once we trigger Article 50, the advantage shifts to the EU so it's imperative that we have a clear strategy in advance. I'll post the link later - currently on my phone.

The massive problem we have is that the final destination of leave was never known. People voted for a journey without knowing where they are going. This was because Gove , Farage and Boris promised them it wont matter. They promised them that the EU will be desperate to do a deal with us because we buy more from them, omitting to mention that our sales to them as a percentage of our total exports is much larger than there their's to us(Something like 44% of to 8%). Also the issue of the EU passport for Financial services was hardly mentioned as tall, not to talk of potential loss of foreign investment if we are outside the single market.

The simple truth is no UK PM is going to pull the UK out of the single market. The disruption to the economy will be massive. The EU know this, which is why they are calling the UK's bluf and saying, first trigger article 50, then we talk. I just can't see how any PM triggers article 50 in such a situation. Heck I can't even seem them getting the vote in parliament to authorize it
