Again, the canard that the referendum ballot paper said nothing about the customs union or the single market.

Of course it didn’t. It said nothing about any of the details of the exit arrangements. It said nothing about the future relationship. But guess what? All of this was pointed out during the campaign. Frequently, it was pointed out by both sides. The remain campaign went hard on the “no single market” angle because they thought it would scare people into voting remain. They were wrong.

On voting day, the electorate was very well aware of the risks and opportunities. It was aware of the things that could not be determined until negotiations were well advanced.

And the result was still “leave”.
