And how convenient for dear Angela Merkel to say its "no problem" if we delay Article 50 and at the same time bollocking Juncker for putting pressure on the UK to leave.
Invoke it NOW I say, and even if the new Prime Minister does not appear for 2 months that's still less than 10% of the time before we actually leave ( I hope).

Sorry I think that's being a bit paranoid.
They've got no choice but to follow what's been decided, I think one of the strongest lessons to be taken from the referendum is how little trust we, the plebs, have in our elected officials nowadays, if they just ignored it they'd be committing suicide as a class.
Why the rush? It's an extremely complicated process and lets be honest, the Brexit camp do not have a fucking clue as to where to start, especially 'BoJo' who's looking increasingly like a rabbit caught in a headlamp. we need to know what we want before we go in, the whole 'we are going to have our cake and eat it' attitude of the brexiteers is to, be polite, unrealistic.
As to Farage, what Westminster constituency does he represent? Oh that's right he did't get elected and promised to resign if he didn't etc etc. With all of the talk of there being some sort of central, credible figure for the Tories (and hopefully what's left of the UK) to coalesce around, I can't imagine a more divisive figure than Farage at the moment.
There's little or no doubt that the EU want the process started and finished ASAP tpo reduce the financial uncertainty, its UK party politics that's slowing things down, especially the right wing Tory Brexiteers who don't want to have to pick up the pieces of what they've broken.
