That's... Really not how the UK government is treating article 50. At all.
I think all the Tory leadership candidates have said they're going to wait and consider how they'll negotiate before they trigger it.

That's the best option. I mean when a married couple decides to divorce, they don't usually move out that night. It takes time to unwind a relationship and I'm glad they're not rushing it.

Some EU officials actually were pushing for an immediate triggering of it just a few days ago, but they now seem to have accepted that the UK won't be going ahead with it for a bit. At least not until there's a new Prime Minister.
But yes, I agree. This isn't something to rush into. It's not like the Leave side did a great deal of planning anyway.

What amazes me is the leave voters who thought their vote wouldn't count, but then voted anyway to have a giggle.
Kinda makes you question democracy.

I just wanted to showcase article 50 as a possible new word. Like if somebody broken up, it would be asked "who triggered article 50?"

Oh yeah, I know the feeling. This was a really complex and important national decision, and probably a lot of voters on either side didn't really have an informed opinion. And then there's the issue of Vote Leave making empty promises "estimates" to mislead voters. It made me question democracy a little too.
But still... I figure, democracy won't always be perfect. No form of government will. But it's still by far the rootinest, tootinest form of governence in all the land.
