I’d be quite happy if leave won the People’s Vote. It’d remove all of the points around people being ill-informed, not understanding Brexit, etc.

After that there should be a General Election, with all the main parties respecting the result and making the case for their type of Brexit. Then we would hopefully have a strong Government in a strong position to negotiate as opposed to two main parties who can’t agree a unified line amongst themselves, never mind for the country as a whole at present.

Leaving the EU/interim arrangements should be in 4 years from then, towards the end of the Parliamentary term allowing a proper transition period for the economy.
