The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) issued a study that outlines a roadmap for the United Kingdom's (UK) exit from the European Union (EU), entitled Cutting the Gordian Knot: A Roadmap for British Exit from the European Union. Authors Iain Murray and Rory Broomfield provide a step-by-step guide on how the UK can leave the EU.
The foreword was written by the former private secretary of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Sir Mark Worthington, who noted that "the British people have chosen for themselves" a future where "they are firmly in control." He hoped that with 'Brexit,' the United Kingdom "has a dynamic and exciting future, one which it now controls for itself." For too long, "decision making in Britain has been supplanted over the decades by the institutions of the European Union," he said, "[showing] the limitations we have come to accept on our freedom to legislate and regulate for ourselves."
The study calculated that EU regulation could be costing the British between $171 billion to $712 billion per year, and cited a think tank called Open Europe that discovered the top 100 EU regulations depleted the UK economy by $43 billion per year.

Negotiating your departure with someone angry you are leaving is foolish. Like a rough divorce, just walk away.
They shouldn’t negotiate this, they should simply unilaterally cut the cord.
What will the EU do, attack them? No.
Will they be angry at them and try to punish them economically? They already intend to.
Just declare it’s over and start running your own nation, that’s the only answer. After victory the colonies didn’t enter into negotiations with Britain as to how we would separate.
Just say “Cheer-e-o” and get the eff out.
