Britain's approach to the Brexit is rather peculiar.
As we speak, confirmation hearings are being held in Brussels for Julian King [UK] who will be Britain's new Commissioner in the European Commission.
That makes it seem they're not in that much of a hurry.

You seem to bypass 2 things:
1] The EU was created especially for Germany as an econo;ic union so that it wouldn't go to war anymore with its eternal foes Britain and France. It is often forgotton the EU is a peace-keeping tool. Expensive as it is to maintain, it's still cheaper than a war and kills less people.
2] At the moment the EU's predecessor was created, Germany didn't have that much going yet. It was a defeated nation with occupying forces all over it ... I know ... I was there ... was obliged to walk around in uniform to show they were conquered [I felt very bad about parading around in a uniform]
3] Germany was one of the 6 founding fathers. How can you be a founding father if you're not involved...
