Most of the "No Deal" advocates in the poll above are just wanting this farce to be over. Of course, when the pain arrives they will have other thoughts but hey, we live in an age of a Wish is a Fact so for the lemmings, the cliff awaits.
For the Leave voters who the political class and big business have ignored & exploited for decades, this vote was all about sticking, quite rightly, a middle finger up to the establishment. The pain of a No Deal was/will not be what they were/will expect and yet again, those that will truly suffer will be those who can afford it least.
The people who deserve the most criticism are those who sold Leave as a 100% positive outcome, lying through their teeth and now, when the proverbial is hitting the fan, they claim to have said No Deal was acceptable all along. Shame on them ...
Damien's point of the millenials is so valid: the Tories have sold their political birthright down the toilet. I give them 5 to 10 years at the most ..

Sound analysis. A no-deal Brexit could well be the end of the Conservative Party. Maybe we need to go through such a period of suffering, get a fairer voting system and eventually return to the EU with more political parties representing all shades of opinion.
