   Having had the weekend to calm down, I hope some of the louder doomsayers and triumphalists have finally got this out of their systems.

Personally I felt it was a tough call so I've nothing against people who voted in the way I didn't. The vote could have gone either way, but it's done. Hopefully it's beginning to sink in that nothing is actually going to happen immediately.

Leaving the EU has never been tried before but there is a process. It's a two year timeframe and that's not even reached the official start date.

Before we can even begin that, the government needs to get itself together. Given the Conservatives and Labour are both apparently busy in the good old-fashioned affair of knifing each themselves in public, this could take a while. (Nothing new there).

Farage appears to have missed the point that his 'victory' renders him no less laughable and significantly less relevant since the only part of his political platform remaining is open bigotry.

Boris Johnson is rapidly retreating to the middle ground and probably watching his back in case someone knifes him.

At this point it seems fairly unlikely that any part of the UK that breaks away would then be allowed into the EU. I could be wrong there.

There's probably time for a general election before the winter, although apparently the coalition government made that unnecessarily hard during their time in office. At this point I think we could do with one.
