Or so the Leavers believe.

Whether ot not that's true (just think Spain/Gibraltar), I can't see the UK changing course.

It is, in any case, highly unlikely.

Brexit is a terrible mess already and getting worse by the day.

Only a fool proceeds in such a situation without stopping to review and reconsider...

Re: What if ... (a Brexit question, sorry)

The best two comments heard recently by a very astute observer were:
1. Brexit was like moving house without having a clue where to go to.

2. When Boris Johnson said, EU exit will be a win-win for us all", he was talking out of that place where the sun doesn't shine. In actual fact it will be a loose-loose situation.
