You’ve even got Liam Fox and David Davis on one side, Mogg, Johnson and Raab on the other. Unless the Conservative party is the only place these divisions exist then leavers have different and often mutually exclusive desires.
The most popular outcome expressed as anything other than a binary choice is to remain. It’s up to leavers to unify their position.

I’ve seen some intellectual acrobatics on this forum but that’s truly special.
Political consensus is always a coalition and a compromise. Leavers may wish to get various things out of Brexit, but they all agreed that Brexit was the way to achieve their aims. They formed a coalition and won a majority. That’s how every other part of our political process works.
