A solicitor has written a piece for the Evening Standard (HERE) about how deeply intertwined the UK and EU are. Mr Allen-Green thinks the process of withdrawing is like a surgical operation to separate conjoined twins.
There are so many policy areas and laws where we are connected that he says it will take years and years to untangle over the next few years and all of it will have to be done on top of what the Government will be doing anyway running the country, in a period of budget cuts and spending freezes, and with a civil service that is 20 per cent smaller than in 2010. He thinks it may not even be possible to leave - "The referendum may have given irresistible political force to the Leave side but membership of the EU may prove an immovable object. There is a contradiction, and nobody can predict how this contradiction can be resolved".
