How quickly should Britain leave the EU.
So we are where we are.
Britain voted to Leave the EU nearly 7 months ago.
As of today Prime Minister May will activate A50 at the end of March 2017, about 9 months after the referendum.
The time frame allows 2 years to negotiate the leaving that takes us to April 2019. 33 months after the referendum.
I voted remain but that is all in the past. Brexit is what the British people want.
So I ask, should Britain get out sooner rather than later.
Why can't Britain leave the day after PM May triggers A50.
Should Britian hang in there for the full 2 years.
If Britain were to leave immediately Britain could begin to enjoy the Benfits, that to keep it on topic, would mean lower house prices.
The only downside of leaving immediately I see, is we don't have time to negotiate a better deal than the one we would have by just leaving.
The only downside by stringing out the full two yearsas I see it, would be that Britain keeps PAYING that huge amount of money to the EU that could go to the NHS. That "Foreigners and immigrants" will keep coming to Britain. That we will continue to have no control over our laws and borders.
Sounds an easy decision to me, but what do you think?
Should we enjoy the benefits of non EU membership immediately or wait two years?

There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

The two years is the maximum period allowed. Extension is only allowed by agreement with all party's.
Get it... the maximum time. If agreement is reached Britain can leave before two years is up.
Britain can just leave if it wants to. There is no rule, law or regulation that stops Britain leaving. It might be messy, but as the old EU saying goes "you don't make omelets without breaking eggs"There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

Whenever have you known the EU negotiate anything in a timely manner?
Who do you think can make it's mind up quicker on a particular issue? A single state, or a bunch of 27 different states all seeking their own advantage.
It's pretty obvious that progress on certain issues will not be made until key elections complete amongst certain European states. Politicians up for election will need to posture to their electorates.
Frankly, you should be asking this question with your Euro mates out in Luxembourg.0 -
I think, gfplux, that you are soon to discover that the UK is not the timid, no-hope, out-of-ideas and "in no position to negotiate" country as far as leaving the EU is concerned that some think.
The British lion is about to bare it's teeth in the face of prolonged EU derision.
Beware, EU.
You may find that this lion bites too.
Two years max.
I suspect it will not take that long.0 -

Though you could try here for an idea:
https://fullfact.org/europe/our-eu-membership-fee-55-million/
......... although the reality is that the EU can (and does) revise what we pay for years gone past.
Remember this?

Uproar ensued, but we still paid.
