If I understand it correctly Cameron is in no hurry to start the exit negotiations. When the talks begin, it can take up to two years. After two years without negotiation results, the UK leaves without agreement.

It could get ugly if - say - Ireland and / or Scotland leaves the UK to stay in the EU.

Who knows, the separation might actually work for the UK. They can now control a lot of important issues themselves, like inflating / deflating the UK Pound, stricter access control at borders. It might be a loss for the financial district in The City, but who wants those parasites anyway? They come and go as they please and feast on the misery of others. UK will still be a NATO member. No doubt the UK will get an EU-light agreement like Norway, so trade will continue.

P.S. Boris Johnson is my avatar for like 3+ years before the referendum. He is awesome. He removed David "Failure" Cameron to become next PM. Is the price too high? Maybe too high for england but not too high for boris.
Very difficult. All UK doors currently comply with Directive 89/654/EEC. Offer the same piece of advice in three years time however and there could be a very nasty bump on the bottom when we don't have the directives to protect us.

Look on the bright side, the EU is getting rid of a problem child. Let's face it, the UK was always dissenting about something or another. You will be able to replace us with Turkey now, which is roughly the same size, much warmer for a holiday and probably much more compliant. Who wants a country that won't just agree anyway? To be fair it was getting quite tiresome having to always be the bad guy, voting against France's latest proposal of a maximum 16 hour working week or something all the time.

And if in some universe this @#(! is allowed to occur, I will simply move to Scotland anyway. There will be rioting on the streets before then though.

Who wants Turkey?! That country like Northern Ireland a few decades ago and Hungary right now, combined.

Keep your fingers crossed that we can prevent this nonsense from happening.
While I am comfortably in the Remain camp, I will not petition for another referendum. We democratically voted out and should accept the fact that it happened, no matter how $#@!ing dumb the whole idea is.

I am just going to clench my butt and sit in my corner and watch the country crash (maybe). Things will go back to normal, and 20 years down the line UK not being part of EU will be a normal thing. The only problem I forsee is that we won't be one of the Top 5 world economy, perhaps not even Top 10. But once again, majority decided on this fate, and we must see it through.
