This is something that a great deal of leavers seem to have an issue with understanding, the two options on the ballot were leave and remain, it didn't specify how we left or what type of Brexit we should have.

In the next few posts no doubt there will be some leavers who will pop up with the 'I know what I voted for, leave means <insert personal preference of leave here>'

The fact is, what you know you voted for and the options that were on the ballot paper are two completely different things. Those that voted to leave agreed to let the government decide on what basis we should leave and how closely we should remained aligned to the EU. And you did so by the very general nature of the option that you selected.
