When you can show me explicitly where on the ballot paper it said leave the EU with a completely clean break THEN you have a point.
You voted the options on the ballot paper.
what you were told, and what were on the ballot paper were two differing offerings.

Errr ... no. I have never claimed the result of the referendum mandated leaving with no deal. However, actions subsequently taken by parliament have created a legal situation where we leave by default without a deal if Brexit Day passes without one having been ratified.
I would rather we left the EU with transitional arrangements (a “deal”) in place, but above all I fully expect the instructions of the British electorate given in 2016 to be enacted. The lack of a deal cannot be used to thwart the referendum result by the back door.
