There will be some kind of
renegotiation because it is unavoidable. Britain is 'in Europe' whether it
likes it or not: it's called History and Geography. There is no way out of either of them.
The renegotiation will
eventually agree issues that could equally have been dealt with by staying in
and fighting for them: democracy has always involved doing that.
But prime minister David Cameron chose to solve his internal Tory party problems by referring them to 'the people', a cop out for party political ends, not to keep faith with 'democracy', and least of all to protect the national interest. It has backfired disastrously for him and his country and he has gone.

The tragedy is
all the pointless and avoidable waste and chaos, as we start solving the same problems over again. That's what people do. We're a dopey and fragile lot.
