Not true really. We knew for example we were heading for free trade with the rest of the world. We knew that there would be a period of uncertainty and once we know how the talks with the EU go that the Markets and the £ will pick up again. After Christmas we should start to see a difference and hopefully by then the talks will be well underway.
We knew that other countries would be queuing up to trade with us so we knew there would be only short term problems.
We knew that we'd be rid of the bureaucracy of Brussels freeing us up to negotiate with other countries once A50 is invoked.
The plan was to invoke A50 and begin negotiations with both the EU and the rest of the world.
We know remain wouldn't accept the result and try to delay it. They have had lawyers trying to see how legal it is and if it has to have an Act of Parliament. Actually it doesn't. As far as I know there are 2 ways of doing it. Repeal the 1972 Act that took us into the EU or a Royal intervention. However, I'm betting they'll take the Parliament rout. I expect A50 to invoked in September.
