You're quite correct Leave didn't do that, it was the Remain side that did that. It was the Remain side that said we would leave the SM and CU, it was the remain side that said there would be financial Armageddon, job losses, etc if we left.

There was no such thing as Hard Brexit or No deal Brexit. There was just Brexit. The population had the facts and the scare stories.

To suggest that the vote delivered a democratic mandate for No Deal, with various negative scenarios, would be disingenuous.
No, just true
