"Madam President, there are multiple problems facing Europe, and Brexit is of course one of them. It will be the mother of all divorce cases, and if done too hastily will be a disaster for both sides. The list of issues that need to be addressed and solved is huge and every day we discover new ones that were never mentioned by the Leave campaign in the national referendum in Britain.
The British Government has not triggered Article 50 because it still has no clue on what it wants to do about most of these issues. The big one, of course, is whether it wants to try to secure a place remaining in the single European market – but then, of course, it has to accept all the common rules for the common market – or whether it wants to leave entirely and face a tariff barrier and a regulatory barrier to our main export market. It is an unpalatable choice, and whichever way the government goes on this has huge implications for Britain and Europe, but it will also see people who voted ‘leave’ complain, rightly, that this is not what they were told, and not what they voted for. Brexit is not a settled issue, neither at European level nor at national level, where calls for a rethink continue to grow."@en1
