That's a helluva assumption - do you have any facts to back it up.
I could equally say that I am sure that most of those who voted leave thought we would not be impacted financially or economically, which is not turning out to be true...

It does seem to be the hard leavers who have a literal view of what the leave vote meant and assume that everyone who voted leave took it as simplistically as they do. The reality is different, why else are those who voted remain still complaining? Why else are the government struggling to find a way out which keeps most of the population happy? Why else are there specific issues with NI border that need resolving in order to comply with the GFA? Why else are negotiations taking place at all? Why else does A50 have a 2 year negotiation period?
People voted to leave for all sorts of reasons, many of which have turned out to be totally illogical, or not even for something the EU are responsible for in the first place.
Yet it seems only the minority hard leave group are allowed an opinion, they certainly manage to complain enough about the remain voters.
