I'm not so sure on this.

My main issue with the vote to exit is we have no idea what sort of deal we can/will negotiate with the EU

I personally would have had it the following

1st referendum to see if the interest of leaving the EU was there.
2nd referendum based on the terms of exit negotiated

2nd Referendum to be binding.


I personally think, voting to leave without having any idea of the terms that would be imposed on us or that we can negotiate is quite simply utter lunacy

That said, I can appreciate if not fully understand why some people are so desperate to leave.

I haven't misquoted you at all. Since this is not bolded I'll assume it's up for debate.

I'll rephrase the question.

I back, no in fact I welcome the fact that the governments attempts to push through and invoke Article 50 have been challenged in the courts and that so far the courts have decided the government are wrong. Does this make me pathetic ?
