Leaving now is not an option as the Clause 50 procedure specifies 2 
years between formally indicating a wish to leave and it taking full 
effect.  During the interim the government in question is not involved 
in policy discussions but the membership is still effective for such 
things as trade and movement of people. What the EU leaders are saying 
is basically "You have said you want to leave, file the divorce papers 
now rather than later." David Cameron has said (rightly in my opinion) 
the timing is a decision for his successor who would have to see the 
negotiations through.
