You have drawn the wrong conclusion. Whether voters wanted a deal or not is subjective. Some, like me, were quite happy with a transitional arrangement leading to a trade deal.

But what you are missing is that the majority of the electorate voted to leave.

Given that a deal with the EU on terms Parliament is prepared to accept is not available, the default is no deal. But it is Brexit, which none of the alternatives offer.

Very interesting, Andrew. And how do you judge the Shadow Cabinet?
