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.
Agreed. In one breath, it's a case of saying that it's up to the Government to implement the vote and my responsibility ceased after I cast my vote. In another breath, the Government is accused of not implementing what I voted for. People can't have it both ways.
