No, I totally get. The "mandate" as you perceive it does not exist. This is demonstrated by the refusal of the House to countenance a Hard Brexit.

Ultimately, every one of the more than 30 million people who voted in the referendum will have made their own judgment based on a balance of factors. The likely state of the economy will have been one of those factors.
As with so many remainer objections, “nobody voted to be poorer” is a canard that is fundamentally disrespectful to the intelligence of British voters. I’d love it if you could just accept that everyone weighed up the same evidence as you, but when it came to it, more people came to a different conclusion than agreed with you. That really is all there is to it.

More denial. No spin, just substance. You are just transposing your interpretation onto the entire 17.4 million. Too simplistic I am afraid. The voters who voted Leave did so for many reasons, with different priorities.
Many would not accept the significant financial consequences of a Hard Brexit. This is just the reality that you (and Parliament) have to deal with.

You just don't get it. The ballot paper said nothing about getting poorer or richer.

Finally, we agree: "The ballot paper said nothing about getting poorer or richer"
