What aim does dragging this out serve? Why is Cameron refusing to start the process? Surely it's best to get this over and done? I fear that this will drag on and on, like overtaking in a Renault Megane:
“With a mere ninety break-horse-power available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast, but on the motorway in fifth gear the Megane’s slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair.”

If the EP say we have resigned when we have not formally resigned they will open the door for protracted legal arguments which could delay our resigning until after those have concluded.
Arguably since Cameron has stood down and stated in our parliament that his successor is responsible for notifying the EP, he no longer has the authority to resign and nothing he now says can be taken as our resignation. Arguably he could resign. But resolving that would take more time than waiting for PM Hunt to be selected and to hand in our notice.
