What we're lacking is a leader with the balls to stand up and say that, irrespective of the referendum, leaving the EU is fucking suicidal right now and we shall stick with it.
I wish we could have that, but as that seems to be extremely unlikely, why not set up a proper cross-party, bipartisan negotiating team involving the brightest and best (assuming there are some somewhere) to actually try to make the least worst exit.

'Brightest & Best' necessarily excludes politicians.
Realise this is trite, and the negotiations should be carried out by experienced senior Civil Servants/Diplomats, but with dePfeffel/Davis/Fox in charge of brexhit we have lost before they take their seats at the table. -
We need an honest debate. People think that we can have our cake (full single market membership, no EU budget, contributions) and eat it (not be bound by the free movement of people, soft border between NI and the Republic of Ireland). We can't. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably believed the slogan on the bus.
Our economy needs immigration. Let's have a grown up debate on that, and stop pandering to the small minded, little Englanders whose culture is so fragile it is threatened by hearing other languages in Morrisons.

Brexit is fucked. We haven't got a functioning government so how on earth are the EU going to be able to agree anything with them?

Cue lots of Brexiteers going mental, but I reckon if it comes to a fight the young and middle aged people of the country can see off Dad's Army.
