One thing that should be carefully considered is when Article 50 is to be triggered. At the moment the government is talking about early next year. However, it has been made clear by a number of EU parties that no serious negotiations can take place until after the German elections. So if we trigger in February (current best bet) we have seven months of hanging around before real negotiations start. Then if there is a change of government in Germany we will have to wait for them to form a policy. It would be better to delay the triggering of Article 50 until after the German elections.
