As to not invoking Article 50 - the EU has refused to negotiate at all unless we invoke it and now the big powers, after a week, are saying we can't negotiate a trade deal without first negotiating an exit deal - which begs the question of what the point of an exit deal is.

At the same time our MEPs have been sent home, our Prime Minister is excluded from EU talks and our commissioner has resigned.

It's very clear at this point that we're going to be forced to invoke Article 50, regardless of an election or a change in public opinion.
And at that point, we'll have 2 years to negotiate a new trade deal with the EU, where 50% of our exports go, or default to WTO trade conditions. How long did Canada and the EU take to agree on a trade deal? 7 years wasn't it?
