[quote=Anonymous]No, there is no "pre-nup" in the EU treaty.  There are also no successor organizations that have been created on the UK side.  Therefore all cross border activities will be forced to stop almost immediately if no deal becaus of practical nuts and bolts compliance issues (things as basic as shipping pallets won't be in compliance).

The referendum campaign wasn't very detailed and people on the proEU side didn't take it seriously enough.  It's very much like the Obamacare repeal stuff with the border wall politics.

EU freedom of movement has led to a lot of Poles, Greeks, etc "immigrating" to the UK.

The issue does not cleanly break down along party lines and the ruling party does not have a majority (they needed a coalition with a N. Irish party to form the government and lost their 1 vote majority when a conservative MP crossed over to the LibDems last week).  This is complicated by a proBrexit tea party-esque faction within the Conservative Party.

In other words. 1) the practical logistics have been ignored in favor of rhetoric 2) the math requires compromise but the politics requires no compromise and 3) the consequences of the referendum were not fully thought through but the vote was the vote.[/quote]
