You can't stop it. Even if Brexit was reversed - which I doubt even possible - Britain has been shown to be a source of political risk. That isn't going away.

Of course you can stop it. UK Parliament would just need to annul the Article 50 withdrawal bill. But the question is whether there is the political will to do so. It's very tricky because Brexiteers/Remainers cut across both Labour and the Tories and yet the party members are expected to toe the party line. Which results in an impasse.

  "just" The complete agreement of every EU nation is required to un-invoke article 50, because there are no provisions for it. Now, they'd likely do it, but that isn't a certainty, especially as the UK arguably gets a lot more out of the EU than most other member states relative to investment.

  Europe has changed. It may not be a single nation yet, but there will be no more European wars. England is lagging behind. They still seem to think they're an empire.

Meh, tons of member states are "sources of political risk", that's the nature of large-scale politics.
