The lawyer who helped to write many of the EU treaties including Maastricht and Lisbon says he believes it is possible to reverse article 50 once it has been triggered (HERE). He may be right but there have been other legal opinions to the contrary and it would be unwise to trigger it before we know the attitude of the EU Commission.
Mr Jean Claude Piris also told Sky News that we will have at least 15 years of pain while we extricate ourselves but we may be better off in 30 years. Personlly, I don't believe we will be better off ever. It seems completely irrational to me to leave the largest, richest market in the world (one that other countries are clamouring to join) that is on our doorstep and expect to be better off. It is literally incredible.
