Agreed. There are plenty of opportunities here to respect the vote of both sides.
If the EU had given David Cameron a real deal that addressed the needs of the UK people more people would have voted to remain.
Even Donald Tusk admits that the EU meddles too much so it's time for the EU to reflect and step back.
We don't want a European Superstate. We don't want uncontrolled immigration. We don't want European courts overriding UK courts. We don't want the massive costs paid to maintain the EU infrastructure.
All these things can be changed by the EU and could persuade the new PM to hold back from implementing Article 50, keeping the UK within the EU and keeping the UK in one piece.
However, it may well be that the other EU countries will only see sense when voters in their countries start voting to leave the EU.
