I'm aware we'll still be a part of the EU for the considerable future, but the issues don't change. The negotiations for our exit will not just be led by a party whose priorities I already fear don't align with mine, but by a leader of a party who will inevitably be even worse than the one that's just resigned. None of the issues I care and am worried about are likely to be on the table, it will be the same old **** that was recited ad nauseam throughout the campaign on both sides - trade, the economy and immigration. I don't give a **** about any of these things, I want reassurances about the public services and rights that are current protected and likely going to be at the bottom of the pile come the negotiations.
The timing of when we leave doesn't make these issues go away, perhaps if we had a different government I may have a different perspective on the whole thing but as it is we don't, and I am terrified at the prospect of what the next two, five, ten years will bring for this country. But no, you go back to your cheering about how 'we're free' and we've 'taken back control' or whatever meaningless phrases that apparently makes this result so great. Meanwhile the rest of us who've considered and care about the consequences this'll have on many people's lives will continue to be concerned about the direction the UK is about to take

All the parties in parliament should be part of the negotiations of any deal in my view.
In the end,it is in fact parliament who will have to approve any deal agreed with the EU,so for me,this should be a parliamentary across the board deal sought.
It should not be left just to the present govt and the new incoming PM, nor to just those on the leave side or indeed the remain side either.
