It is not goodwill, it is the self serving interest of the EU.
Trade deals are designed to serve the interests of both parties, the more successful the UK is the more business it can do with EU member states, the EU is not going to deliberately cripple itself in order to punish the UK, that would be retarded.
Yes, the member states notifies. You can argue all you like, but any half assed lawyer will tell you that this basically means, the UK gets to start the clock, nobody else. How they do it is up to them, since it's unspecified. It's expected to be a formal letter, because that's how it's done. But technically, they could just drop the head of a dead horse in the lap of Juncker and tell him to fuck off if that's what they want.
That's how it is. The EU already dismissed your speculation. It's not going to happen.

The point your missing is that your argument goes like this...
-I wanna do whatever I wanna do! Fuck the consequences that it will have on all of ya! Now kneel before MY DEMOCRACY, and AFTER I fucked you all, I demand you to give me free stuff and you not to be angry! Cuz if you get angry and don't give me free stuff than YOU are tyrannical.
It is literally the case of 16 something million who voted for exit now demanding 500 million people in the EEA to bow to their will.
How the fuck is that "democratic"?
Technocrats do not always have the peoples interests at heart. A great example is the immigration issue. If you hire maids, then you tend to be very much in the "Bring all the migrants in!" camp, if you happen to work as a maid then your against it because you know that makes your life, your job, that much more precarious. This is why Sir Richard Branson can support bringing in all the migrants from North Africa and the Middle East, he will never personally have to live in those neighborhoods and endure the negative side effects, and he gets a cheaper maid, AND property values stay high as housing is needed, AND he gets to feel good like he was some noble hero who helped people, it just happens to also profit people of his class and benefit them and not cost them anything. This is a policy the technocrats were okay with, but it obviously was a tad self serving on their end to be for it.
Why should those on the bottom rung of society support a class of people or rule by people who have proven they don't give a fuck about them?
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

Exactly, but how much weaker the EU gets is up to the EU.
They now have the opportunity to keep the lucrative UK market, while having none of the hang ups of having the "whining special snowflake" be a member of the EU. The only way the EU can become weaker is by choosing to damage itself further and cutting itself off from that market prematurely.
To be trite, the net benefits of union worth putting up with it.
You don't seem to grasp that this mirrors exactly what goes on in the US currently and historically. There are the economic powerhouses, like California, dead weight like Wyoming, and complainers like Texas. But the United States as a body benefits everyone in the end, and that is worth preserving.
