I thought that had been accepted for some time. May, like Merkel seems to want some sort of "cooling off" period. The latter has said she's quite happy to wait until the UK get's its negotiating act together and has talked about the end of this year as a possibility.
A50 seems quite clear. It's up to the country planning to leave to invoke it, not the likes of Herr Junker, jumping up 'n' down and stamping his feet in Brussels.
May want's to buy as much time as possible to finds ways to get around the Brexit referendum so not to invoke Article 50. She definitely doesn't have any balls
to invoke article 50, otherwise, why would the UK continue paying into the EU instead of the NHS
for nothing if she wants to leave the EU?
May knows very well, the moment Article 50 is invoked, the EU will just run out the 2 year time clock and give nothing to the UK. So in actuality, the EU is in no hurry either, because they are collecting their fees from the UK just the same without the UK having a voice in the EU. Talk about the UK getting milked!
