Quote:What has clearly been underplayed is that the UK vote to leave the EU after 43 years is now the precursor to a minimum two years of exit negotiations, as the government will now seek to invoke EU Article 50, which is effectively the technical mechanism by which it will leave.
Looks like we are both correct? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-r...m-35926576
"Once Britain formally tells the European Council it is leaving, it has two years to negotiate the terms of its withdrawal. Extra time would only be allowed if the remaining 27 states all agreed."
So it's exactly a 2 year process unless countries agree to extend, which probably won't happen.
