Given the morass that Brexit is almost certain to leave the British civil service, it , ironically, may be only foreigners (the removal of whom is the reason many give for voting to leave in the first place) who have the heart, energy and motivation (in aid of honourable citizenship) to wade through the steaming pile of soon-to-be redundant regulations and ultimately inadequate Acts of Parliament.
I'm imagining those heads of department who are at or close to retirement wondering if, like Cameron, Johnson and Farage, they too 'want their life back' or value their time more than the next few years of drudgery unwinding 40+ years of European integration.
And never mind the department heads, what about their senior executives and others who will ultimately be ground into the dirt by the political and bureaucratic hysteria, angst and deadlines that will inevitably be foisted on them.
And, again, never mind the bureaucrats, what about the legal system being swamped with cases of branch of contract & etc...
Yes, all components of the Westminster system is going to be worn to the stub over the next few years in a way probably not witnessed since the end of WW2.
This, most certainly, is an argument (writ large) for the soundness of the cautionary advice - Be careful what you wish for.
