We really do need to either scrap the whole thing and continue with the EU and a red face, or go properly "Brexit Meanz Brexit", go for it and hope for the best. It's a half-in-half-out arrangement that's just... limp.
Again though, this is because they called a referendum for a "full Brexit" without even ****ing bothering to check whether or not it was feasible to untangle the web. The referendum should never have been proposed as a binding thing. It should have been done to survey the public's feelings on the matter and then see what could be done to step away from it over the LONG term, as in decades. This idea that we could say "we want out!" and then hack at the bonds with a bread knife and declare ourselves out a couple of years later was just never going to work.
