If Teresa May her advisors or Others try to ignore the referendum result or call for another vote. Dare I say it could end up in total anarchy.
Didn't the negotiations for the free trade deal between the EU and Japan start off in 2012? And how long did the Canada/EU free trade deal take before being agreed? 7 years or so.
