Or, two and a half years in which a whole section of the British and European political establishment has worked overtime on making it look excessively complex, in the hope, if not expectation, that an eventual impasse might result in a second referendum in which that complexity could be weaponised.

btw, re the "What’s the matter - chicken?" analogy, isn’t it the Leavers who are saying it’s OK to jump without knowing the outcome or potential issues?

The referendum campaign was fought in 2016. The Remain campaign had its chance to elucidate the complexities and risks of various post-Brexit scenarios, just as the Leave campaign had the chance to set out some of the possible opportunities. We listened, we decided, we voted. No matter how complex the implementation, the imperative to actually do the implementation is really very simple.
