Herman Von Rompuy, who it seems to me makes measured and intelligent interventions says real Brexit negotiations will not start until after the German elections next September (HERE). I can see this is obvious since Germany is the largest economy and the biggest contributor to EU funds.
It is unrealistic to expect Mrs Merkel to negotiate substantive things that her successor (if she loses) does not accept so in practice everything of any value will wait until the end of next year. So much for a quick Brexir.
The utterly obnoxious Nigel Farage likened Mr Rompuy to a damp rag but he seems far wiser than Nigel.
