You understand what you want from leaving. That’s not the same as everyone understanding, let alone agreeing over it.
Ha ha! I don't, and you don't speak for them either, so no more talk of leavers not knowing what they voted for!

As for Liam Fox, the withdrawal agreement has been pretty straight forward considering the extent of the voices off from the remainers. Only the backstop is getting in the way, but other than that, the withdrawal agreement is just about there.

The other types of leave you envisage do not actually mean 'leave' - they mean a half way house. This is unacceptable to most leavers.

Can you tell me, with supporting evidence if you like, what it is that leavers did not understand?
