Split over Bexit....Chaos in UK.

Yup. I don't think Cameron expected the Leave side to 'win,' thus the poorly-worded referendum. they didn't think wording it carefully to cover the event of a leave vote mattered, so confident as they were.
Cameron and Osborne, Carney, Juncker, Obama, Lagarde and much of the rest of the global establishment thought the British people would meekly do as they were told. Thankfully, they were very much mistaken. The British people told them that they are our servants, not vice versa.
I'm not against Brexit per se. Had I written the referendum question, option two would have been unilateral global free trade within seventy years. This would have allowed the UK to negotiate successive agreements with the EU to gradually untangle itself from it over time. You don't untangle yourself from something like the EU overnight.
Had the qeustion been so worded, I would have probably hesitatingly voted option two figuring that we would have another referendum of sorts on it every four years anyway should it turn out that the decision was wrong as we gradually untangle ourselves.
As it was actually worded, I most certainly would have voted Remain.
'All?' They didn't all vote to leave with no idea what they would replace it with?
Well the negotiations have been going badly, thanks partly to deliberate ineptitude on the part of the Remainers who don't want Britain to succeed and the actions of the arrogant Michel Barnier and the EU.
Not that we need to negotiate anything, of course. Britain should have pulled out of the EU on 24th June 2014. The negotiations are a waste of time.
So you would actually have support cutting ties with the EU cold turkey just like that with no transition period? Are you serious?
Yep. What's the problem? Britain should have quit the EU two years ago, as we voted, instead of all this pointless faffing around which will likely end in No Deal anyway.
What's been the point of these negotiations, which haven't really been negotiations at all but just a series of demands by the EUSSR? It's just been two years wasted.
So you don't mind economic chaos for your fellow citizens? How patriotic of you.
What economic chaos do you envision? Will all trade between continental Europe and Great Britain stop?
What economic chaos? The Remainers (wrongly) told us during the campaign that it would have hit us by now.
You haven't left the EU so the tariffs haven't hit yet.
Wouldn't tariffs accelerate that?
