Regardless, it is still a total corruption of democracy to say "vote for this or else something worse will be put in its place".

The WA continues the single market, customs union, freedom of movement, obeying EU rules, obeying the CJEU. We will still be bound by the EUs competence(ie legal authority).

The WA is a time-limited treaty between the EU and a third party. Under its provisions, we are no longer members of the EU and are following its rules in order to allow an orderly transition.
As I said - which you have curiously ignored - getting us out of the EU has been a long game. It will continue to be so, in part because of the very complexities that many of us have long argued have effectively eroded our sovereignty in practice.
Securing a referendum was the first major victory. Winning it was the second. Leaving the EU is the third. After that, we are free to chart our own course and to diverge from the EU, over time, where it benefits us. This is a freedom we do not presently have, but which we soon will.
