I'd take issue with the idea that "no change" means the promise we will "take back control" will inevitably be broken.

Brexit is an event leading to a continuing state as a nation outside the EU. There is an unlimited amount of time during which things can change and control reasserted. Insisting that a promise has been broken just because there aren't radical changes on day one is absurd, not to mention a gross distortion of what any leading leave campaigner actually said in the run up to the vote.

We don't need to rush to do anything. We're not going to. On the event of Brexit we will re-assert sovereignty over our affairs, and changes can follow after that at whatever rate circumstances require.
