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.

Quick replies: Para 2. Cameron lied his backside off in the run up to the election. The day after he in effect continued the lie by not doing what he promised....invoke Article 50
Invoke the Article and then there is no rush, unless sorting some basic stuff out over the coming 22 months is too much to ask.
Para 3. You may not find Farage to your taste, but IMHO , he is the only man that says it as it is; his facts can be substantiated and he has held true to all he wanted and aspired to. Without his dream, we would not not be hopefully chucking off the shackles of the Brussels Eurocrats and their divisive system in the coming months and years. The sooner he gets a place in Parliament the better, and I suspect in any forthcoming elections, he would wipe the floor with his opponents. ( I hope! )
Para 4. I agree that both the Remain and the Leave Camp have proved very disappointing post Referendum in their abilities to get anything together. Lets hope they start getting their Act together soon , and prove my fears groundless.
