First of all, it will face the E.U.’s unanimity requirements. All the E.U. member states will have to agree to any deal before it goes forward. This means that just one member state can block the agreement. Before the referendum, Britain could count on the help of other governments that were sympathetic to it. Now, any deal will effectively be shaped by the single government most unsympathetic to Britain’s case, and most eager to punish it, since all other member states will need that state’s assent. If one or several remaining member states want to make the establishment of an association agreement very costly for Britain, the British will find themselves in a very weak bargaining position.
It's like an easy 'O' Level English comprehension, isn't it?

What part of below is punishing us?
Hey Mr E.U. I want access to the free market but don't won't to contribute financially or allow those funny foreigners in.
Mr E.U. No, you can have the same rules as everyone else.

Who knows... if the UK pisses off the EU with inaction they may well just go ahead with the nuclear option. Not activating Article 50 is a clear violation of democracy of the UK people.
Since Farage said that unless there was a substantial majority in favour of remain, he wouldn't be going away, the government should have taken that as agreeing to requiring a 60% majority to change the status quo. Oh well, we are where we are and need to make the best of it.

For the past centuries an open door policy has helped the UK. Do you think that should continue?
