    Oh the irony - whatever happens we will still want access to the single market and the conditions of that will be free movement of EU citizens. So now we will have pretty much the same conditions (but worse) without any influence on what the EU does... What a massive fuck up this referendum was. Oh David, what a legacy. And Boris - you now know the reality and it looks like you don't have the balls to go with it. The world really must think we are idiots. Thank god I was one of the 48%.

    • This is such a massive clusterfuck - I reckon there'll blood on the streets once the Leave electrorate realise how fundamentally they've been misled.detritus
    • I'd be very surprised if Gove and Johnson made it through the year without at least a black eye between them from some punter.detritus
    • yep - defo.fadein11
    • Looks like the UK has the upper hand here. EU is teetering, especially after this vote. They should want to maintain relationships.IRNlun6
    • EU was going down already. UK could be lucky in the long term. the list of problems are greater then the list of benefits.yurimon
    • Cant be reformed. Seems people cant figure out how to keep bureaucrats and retards out of important powerful positions.yurimon
    • EU is not teetering - they have made their positions v.clear - they want us out ASAP. Yurimon - you are repeating yourself again.fadein11
    • you are not helping fadein, focus. I have feeling they want to make UK an example of leaving.yurimon
    • How do you figure UK has the upper hand? One country on its own has a lot more to lose than 27 others.yuekit
    • In terms of incentives, EU wants to prevent same thing happening again. So they will likely offer very unfavorable terms to Britain to make an example.yuekit

    • They're just taking advantage of the hope for a referendum. The EU is under the pressure of other nations leaving as well.IRNlun6
    • On top of the problems which led to the referendum in the first, acting vindictively could hurt the EU even more politically.IRNlun6
    • There is more concern of a country leaving and prospering than anything else. typical ruling politics. this makes EU a bit imperial in nature as it plays theyurimon
    • role of a peacemaker. fckrs.yurimon
    • Your link from the notoriously-Euroskep... Telegraph utterly fails to explain how the UK will be treated like Greece, ukit. Our situation is not Greece's.detritus
    • Their Euroskepticism didn't seem to carry over to this article. Of course the UK isn't close to being Greece but they make a convincing case that it will beyuekit
    • difficult to secure a generous deal given all the distrust and incentives among the various countries. All 27 of which will need to approve a deal.yuekit
