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.

That's undeniably true. They didn't want to give us more concessions because they feared a domino effect and they feared that because they know an increasing number of people in the EU, even in Germany and France, don't want their vision of it. They're so single-mindedly deluded that they won't accept the domino effect they fear is already happening and has been for some time. There needs to be an urgent outbreak of common sense in Brussels but I imagine all we'll get is the usual denial...
