Because talk is cheap and uncertainty is expensive.

Insisting on article 50 being invoked before starting negotiations will trigger a massive amount of economic uncertainty (and possibly panic). This uncertainty will be worse for the UK but it will be very bad for the EU too.
The EU is on tenterhooks even if it doesn't realize it. A wave of euroskeptic election wins in Europe could trigger cascading copycat leave referendums and ultimately the death of the EU. Its negotiating position really isn't as strong as it believes it is.
- bruceboughton 10y agoThe EU's negotiating position is exactly as weak as it thinks it is and that is why it has to be so hard on us (Britain). The only negotiating position weaker is Britain's.

The ones triggering a massive amount of economic uncertainty are the ones that doesn't want to invoke the Article 50 As I said, some of you think that not giving all that UK wants is being vindictive.
