Probably worth adding that when there was the Scottish Independence Vote, a white paper was produced showing the implications to Scotland for both a pro and against independence. It ran to 560 pages - the electorate had the opportunity to have a detailed look at what they were voted for to allow them to make a balanced decision.

I ask the question, if there was a no deal, other than some very recent papers from the Government - of which there are still several to be produced - have the UK electorate really been provided with the detail as to what a no deal looks like so that they can make a real choice?
Good for them. I wonder how many people read that from cover to cover? Even if they did, it was not more than a page on the impact on the economy, wasn't it?

Frankly, the public are not as stupid as you think. Those who voted to leave the EU simply voted to leave. The details are for the politicians, just like it is for manifesto commitments.
