such as?
the bit where the government said they'd implement the result?
they even highlighted it and then sent one to every voter in the country.
Basically any area the EU and UK co-operates in now. As diverse as Security to Fisheries, and everything in between. If the separation of interests can be amicably negotiated quickly, great.

Both the EU and Scottish referendums were advisory. Which part of that isn't clear?
If the government want to rule out the chance of a referendum result being blocked during the ratification process then the referendum needed to be made legally binding from the outset. Which would mean Parliament passing legislation to make it so (and thus waiving the chance to debate the result).
You can think it a farce if you like. Others might think it a farce that a non legally binding referendum becomes law without the involvement of Parliament. Clearly we disagree on what constitutes a farce.
All this banging on about democracy and sovereignty by Leavers. And yet you want to bypass the very embodiment of democracy in this country and disregard parliamentary sovereignty. Such desperate hypocrisy.
So that's all it takes to make major constitutional change in this country now then, just issue some pamphlet?
But how can any of that be properly debated or decided if we don't know if the UK is going to be completely out, a member of EFTA or some other unique or hybrid arrangement?
This is just going round in circles now so this is rather pointless and it isn't going to happen anyway so I guess your angst will have to stay there for a bit longer.
sort of stating the obvious really - and it applies to both leave and remain voters... people have different ideas about brexit just as people have different ideas about the EU and future European integration

For example, Fisheries policy is going to look very different if the UK is 100% out of the EU and not bound by EU law (Cod Wars 2 probably), compared to being part of the EFTA or still part of the free trade area and bound by some EU law.
Bilateral agreement, not dictated by the EU.
We should drop the agreement and take full control of our borders.

We have our people in France doing their job. It is in our advantage to have them there to prevent illegals from trying to come across. Your suggestion means they will have to come back to this country leaving the Chunnel less well guarded.
but the agreement gives us more control over our borders.
it lets us check papers in France rather than the uk.
therefore putting our border on the French side of the tunnel not the uk side.
