Britain is not going to kiss the EU goodbye until at least 2019
Britain is not going to leave the European Union until at least 2019, according to investment bank Citi.
In a new note, entitled "Any Exit from Brexit? What's Next for the UK and Europe" by Tina Fordham and Tiia Lehto at Citi, article 50 - the mechanism under the Lisbon Treaty in which a country tells the European Union it is leaving the bloc and thereby gives a two-year notice period - is unlikely to be triggered anytime soon because several things need to happen first.
These are outlined in the following chart:

As you can tell, Citi predicts that the ruling Conservative party need to find a new leader, who will also be the new Prime Minister. That will be followed by a flurry of political party conferences. Citi then says that a general election may happen and the new UK government may trigger Article 50 once they come to power
However, it also predicts that another Scottish referendum may happen.
Citi's prediction is not out of this world - Dr. Peter Catterall of Westminster University in a Facebook Live interview with Business Insider said on Monday that a Brexit was unlikely to happen until after a General Election.
