I am saying that people were asked whether we should remain or leave, and the people voted to leave. They were not concerned with how we would leave, just that we should leave. I think most of us assumed that bit would be handled by the politicians.

If you voted for Corbyn because he wanted to nationalise the railways, would you then go on to expect that the public would have a say on how the railways would be nationalised? Whether the private sector would be allowed to bid against the public sector, whether the whole industry should go into public hands, whether current standards should be maintained, etc? Of course not. You would have voted for nationalisation and it would be up to the Government how it implemented it.

Given the way Brexit was proposed, surely you cannot believe that those who voted out wanted a half way house, any more than the remainers did. They voted out, which means out of the EU, out of the single market and out of the customs union.

Interesting that Corbyn has already conceded that he would stay in the customs union, contrary to what people voted for, and that he appears not to understand that this would mean we could not forge our own trade deals, which the people did vote for.

Not all leavers are fans of Nigel, old bean.

Interesting that the EU are now offering a Customs Union, rather than the Customs Union. Enough for the Brexiteers to save face, and keep TMs promise of not being in the Customs Union ? .
