I and others have said several times that this "grubby little project" as you call it has little to do with the promises made by the leave campaign apart from some exception such as the fishermen (who should be OK in about 4 years' time).

It was about rejection of the "ever closer union" mantra put out by Brussels and the handing of sovereignty over to the ECJ.

A competent government (which we don't have) would get us to a good point sooner. As it is, rolling over EU trade deals and making new ones does not make us worse off in international trade terms. Furthermore, the EU remains our largest trading partner. Why do we need to be a member of the EU?
