Glad we got there in the end: you accept the Leave voters are a minority of the population. Mery Christmas!

You are getting confused here. I am just correcting all the statements made where posters are claiming that the "population has decided".
Just stick to the facts. The votes cast in the referendum met the 50% required to decide the result. That's all you can deduce from this.
People voted Leave for a myriad of reasons so there is no one size fits all solution here. There may be solutions that fit the aspirations of the ring wing Leavers and there may be significantly different ones that would fit the choices of the more moderate voters.
So please don't claim "the country decided this" or "the people voted for that".
We are where we are. Mrs May has to get the best deal for the country as a whole. She is not constrained by Commandments from the Holy Book of Brexit.
Rather, she lives in the real world where she does not want to pursue a fractured, divided and less prosperous United Kingdom. She understands that to pursue an agenda based on dogma rather than common and financial sense would be folly.
