Britain has no idea what to do next, and that’s dangerous
Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does government. If no one knows what to do, if there is chaos and indecision, then the person with the clearest vision — for good or for ill — wins the argument. That’s the lesson of the Russian Revolution, of Weimar Germany, and, without meaning to overdramatize — we are not talking about events on that scale — that’s also the lesson of Brexit Britain.

It's kind of interesting that with this, the new surveillance laws and MPs exempting themselves, what the government is doing to the country would probably be classed as an unconventional sex act under some of the more recent legislation.
So... this is a piece on populism, railing against it half the time. It's well past June and they've done nothing... that's not necessarily true they've had a change in leadership of Government, that person has been put on blast by the other side trying to stop the exit with lawsuits trying to add more bureaucracy to the exit, which they've gotten in a parliamentary action has to be done to move forward. Scotland is also looking to try and block the exit and demand a stay until they are talked with or something, article 50 has to be started before they can officially talk about the exit with the EU Government and EU countries to determine what happens to the rights of movement and such in the EU, as well as what happens with their part in the trading bloc, subsidies, etc. So I don't get this opinion, it's not like they've sat on their backsides for the past six months, they've been fending off an attack on the exit itself and are awaiting discussions to officially begin when they do invoke article 50.
I don't see how the UK couldn't in theory just get an EU-UK Economic treaty and keep things roughly the same but lose the need to answer to and pay the overseers in Brussels. Yet, I'm not a politician or have access to what they're really doing so it's easy to armchair from my computer.
Now, if they get to the exit and didn't have a team working on finances, plans, and talking to foreign heads about the future exit and what's next then they're falling on their asses and deserve to be blasted into oblivion.
