I know they did. I did not say otherwise, did I? The Brexiteers who voted against did so to deliver on the referendum. It was the remainers voting against their parties' own mandates to deliver on Brexit in line with the referendum that ensured a lack of a majority in Parliament in betrayal of what the electorate actually wanted..

Yes, because the leavers who voted against May's deal voted for a no-deal Brexit, whereas the remainers voted against to stop Brexit.

I am not wrong, you just didn't understand the point I was making. The Brexiteers voting against May's deal were not trying to stop Brexit. The remainers were, and if they hadn't done so, May's deal would have got through.

No, we don't. The people who want another referendum want 'remain' to be an option, and there you have it. It is just a ruse to deny the electorate what they voted for.
