This all reminds me of Abe Lincoln who decided to slaughter 600,000 Americans in order to preserve the union.

In a key moment of the campaign, Vote Leave pledged that in the event of an out vote, money saved from Britain’s EU ‘membership fee’ would be used to fill the gap.
However, with Vote Leave being a cross-party campaign organisation rather than the Government, it is not clear what weight that guarantee will carry.

It'll bamboozle the opposite side.

Originally posted by AtW View PostWhy would they even talk to him? He is a backbencher MP, he got no authority. Nobody will talk to him until he is a PM or officially appointed by the Govt in some capacity that warrants ministers talk to him.
Until Article 50 is invoked they will be too busy anyway.

Hamface is setting up (and is a) "unit".
They aren't going to trigger Article 50 until they know precisely what they want (bottom line, best case scenario etc.). There are degrees of informality and, regardless of what the EU is currently saying, there will be informal talks, because Hamface's unit will be populated by people that have long relationships with the Eurocrats. Much sounding out will take place.
Will there be an EEA+ (i.e. constrained free movement)? Difficult to say. Not if you listen to the Junker wing. More likely if you listen to Merkel, but it's very difficult to read her at this stage. The priority for Merkel et al. right now is to not accentuate market nerves until there's a functioning UK Gov't, but the tone could change once Article 50 is triggered, especially if Boris wins. TBH, I think that's going to plague Boris as the leadership contest develops. You're going to get Project Fear Mk. II from the EU institutions about dealing with him (not entirely unfounded either). I think May is a quite likely alternative, despite being a Bremainer.
Interesting times.
