Why is Cameron refusing to start the process?
Triggering Article 50 cannot be reversed, and it means that the clock is ticking against the UK.
This puts the UK in a very weak negotiating position.
Negotiating while still a member gives the UK a relative position of strength.
NotThamesWater-
Which is why we should act quickly, right? Put it off and we might run out of time to secure the deal we want?
The only way this makes sense is that if the people in the background are dead set on not following through on the referendum result.
Although I still think EEA membership is the long game - for Boris at least.

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.”
