Frankly the politicians should have already pulled the plug on that but they haven't the balls.

How exactly?

Oh sorry, this question was one of the reasons why the referendum was a Bloody Stupid Idea™. The UK has an armful of international obligations and benefits because of EU membership. It is going to take years to unravel and replace them which is why the government has proposed the "great repeal act" which would enshrine all existing EU legislation on the statute book. Apart from the fact that I think the proposed act would itself be unconstitutional, a quick look at the success of governments in actually repealing legislation should give an idea of how long things might take.

Meanwhile the pound will fall as FDI falls if access to single market is limited. Think petrol prices are high now? You've got another thing coming.
