I really don't understand what the comments on "working together" and "pulling together" are about because in the UK they only concern the government. It matters not what the general population think or feel, the general population have all sorts of opinions but they are not in power. How are ordinary people going to influence what happens? Why would EU citizens who may lose their rights want to "work together"?
The two parties who need to work together are the UK and the EU. Neither want to compromise. Then you have Ireland in the mix. It's a toxic political cocktail.

You are correct that Lord Kerr drafted article 50 and you give a site within which he also says that article 50 IS NOT irrevocable. This what needs to happen.
He (Lord Kerr) has argued publicly — and controversially — that Article 50 is not irrevocable. In other words, during the two-year negotiating period set out in the text, Britain could decide not to leave after all and simply remain an EU member. However, he says he cannot imagine how politics in Britain would allow such a U-turn.
How ever, there is nothing in the text that article 50 was only designed for large economies as some have suggested.
