The Ballot paper was a bald question. The leave campaign sold voters a more flexible leave option. Insisting that ALL voters chose the bald leave option based on the ballot paper alone has always been the problem.
The wiser Leave voters understood that Remain does not mean Status Quo. The EU is morphing towards federalism; the Euro might collapse; Turkey might join the EU. No chance of preserving Status Quo, which I concede never did us too much harm.

A referendum has to be a bald question. The people voting can work it out for themselves.

The only problem is the anti-democratic approach of many Remainers wishing to defeat the 1st Referendum; i.e. play the EU's nasty game.
