We could have done that, but after the vote the EU said that they would not entertain any negotiations until Article 50 had been triggered. So I agree, that was a statement they could not back up as they couldn't speak for the other side.
And subsequently EU said they will not entertain any negotiations on a new deal until the withdrawal agreement is signed off.
So doubly wrong.
