I can understand your frustrations at the Brexit dream potentially dying, but that’s not actually a reason to dismiss my points out of hand.
I’ve said before leaving the EU requires strong government, a clear aim in negotiations and a lead in period of years to minimise economic impact. If we established our position 18 months ago and stuck to it businesses would have three years to prepare. Instead we are sitting three months before Brexit day weighing up a bad deal, no deal, Parliament wanting a role in negotiations and an increasing sense we may remain.
We are in this problem because no Government prepared for the possibility of a leave vote and we triggered A50 too quickly. The people voted, corruption aside, to leave the EU. They didn’t say “leave the EU as soon as possible with little/no preparations with a deal negotiated on the back of a cigarette paper at the last minute after three Brexit secretaries”.
I wouldn’t describe the country as in an impossible situation. There’s a very easy way out.

A reasonable analogy is if one is buying a house you make sure you have completely left no stone unturned before you purchase that house and not just buy that house without doing any homework on it and then realise when you move into that house there are problems in every bit of that house which then require significant repair and investment.
