On that we can both agree. One of my main points through this discussion that my previous posts will back up.
You’re absolutely correct, we were promised “Brexit”. But that Brexit was leaving all the EU institutions, including the Single Market and Customs Union. That is what was sent to every home in the UK, and debated. Would you call that a “Hard Brexit”?

We were, we’ll know when we start negotiating it. We need to sort out the “withdrawal agreement” or not....first.

Manifestos are not legally binding. The idea may be that politicians are expected to stand by them, which is noble, however in practice they are held to account after five years (at most).

absolutely, the LibDems know all about that....................
However they are held to account after the fact.
Brexit hasn’t happened yet. We don’t know the effect of Brexit as it hasn’t happened. How can you hold anything to account that hasn’t Happened?
Let’s have Brexit, then after 5 years, if it’s a bit pony, we can elect to rejoin.
