Probably the main difference between the parties would be 'we will trigger article 50 on Thursday' and 'we will trigger article 50 when the time is right for the UK economy - probably the Tuesday after'.

Oh, it gets better. UKIP don't have a plan either.
The former head of research for UKIP has written one, its had about 80,000 downloads but UKIP and vote Leave ignore it. UKIP reckon the author drinks too much.

Horribly anti-democratic statement from a horribly anti-democratic shit.

Well actually there's other lots, some that wouldn't trigger article 50 coz they didn't do this to leave (it was a hard ball negotiating tactic ) and others who won't go near that piece of EUropean legislation (think its a trap) and can be down by Parliament repealing one Act of Parliament.

Any way parliament is back tomorrow and we find out what planning the civil service did. (I'd guess at some sticky back plastic and acknowledgement of article 50)

Its not quite as bad as that. But lots of scope for "suggestions/influence"

The usual Sunday interview of a politician is open necked shirt in their extensive garden. Upside down in a shit filled portaloo would indeed be the point where reality trumps satire.

I read in The Spectator that virtually nothing had been done weeks prior to the vote, the fact that nothing was done since then is astonishing.

Some people seem to be struggling with the democracy thing.
'Lord Heseltine has pointed to the practicalities of an overwhelming majority in the House of Commons against leaving the EU. “There is a majority of something like 350 in the House of Commons broadly in favour of the European relationship,” he said.
“There is no way you are going to get those people to say black is white and change their minds unless a) they know what the deal is and b) it has been supported either by an election or by another referendum,” Heseltine told Sky News. “So there’s a dramatic urgency to get on with the negotiations.”
He called for a cross-party group of MPs to look at the options and “articulate the case for Britain rethinking the result of the referendum”.'

Interesting piece by Boris in the Telegraph

One thing which Heseltine and many others appear to have missed is that there is no provision for any negotiation before Article 50 is triggered.
So if Gove/Boris/Farage headed over to Brussels and said "we're here for the negotiations", none of the other EU countries have to engage with them, and if they do they can subsequently argue that what they said was just idle chat and not part of any formal negotiation.
This whole situation now has the prospect of going way beyond a civil war in the Tory party, turning into a farce which demonstrates the contempt in which our rulers truely regard us and leading to a complete crisis in our "democracy". Looks like Donald Tusk could have been right after all

Yes. And only of ephemeral interest as its purpose is to help him to Number 10, not to set out his true feelings.
