There should be arrangements that UK citizens who want to maintain their EU citizenship can do so.
I agree, but I think that won't happen. I advise everyone in the UK who wants to remain European (and I definitely do) to make their own arrangements. I anticipated this problem a bit and my contingency plan was already underway. With some luck I can avoid this result destroying my life. But others may not be so lucky, and I don't trust the British government to safeguard my future and livelihood.
Now is the time to be proactive, before British people lose their rights under European conventions.
(Of course, if the UK remains in the EEA most rights will be retained. There is a reasonable chance that this will happen, but I would not gamble my family's and my own future on it. Boris's statement last night was very worrying in this respect.)

it doesn't matter - the vote has happened and cant be undone.
But the may well be future votes. Not necessarily on EU membership, but perhaps between EEA membership and isolation. That's a much bigger and more fundamental decision than whether to leave the EU.
