Surely the GE in 2017 showed the majority voted for some sort of deal, otherwise UKIP would be the party in government?

According to the result 82% of the electorate voted to support leaving at that point and what was claimed by the Leave supporters. Yet this is not really what can be extrapolated from the GE result, as people voted Labour to stop the Tories and vice versa, with Brexit a secondary consideration.
Seems what people voted for in 2016 must be set in stone for ever and ever, even though what sort of Leave is not clear based on the promises of the Leave campaign. We are told the Government leaflet gave us the facts when it comes to leaving with no deal, but the the problems caused by doing this and outlined in that same leaflet are dismissed as "project fear". Funny that?

Exactly.
