Speaking at a conference in Italy on Saturday, Mr Barnier said he did not want to punish the UK for leaving but said: "I have a state of mind - not aggressive... but I'm not naïve."
"We intend to teach people… what leaving the single market means," he told the Ambrosetti forum.

I don't think you can really give any explanation why everyone who voted one way or the other did so and it's really silly when anyone tries to claim people voted to leave or remain for any set of reasons.
The polls conducted after the vote disagree with you, but could easily be wrong and, regardless, Parliament was always sovereign.

There's a really good reason why they drew up and agreed negotiating guidelines within the Council - to avoid the process being sidetracked by such arguments.
Tad late for them to fight one another - they agreed Barnier's negotiating positions months ago and need unanimity to change them.
