I am talking about the people in it. The Irish border wasn't going to be a problem and we held all the cards in talks for a trade deal. Many of them are in the cabinet so if they have yet to have any ideas of what we can do then the decision is left with May.

However if Vote Leave is done and those leading it are not responsible for their promises then there is even less reason for why May should be bound by it either.

She has a mandate to leave the European Union and that is what is happening. The terms are ultimately up to her and her government. Posters on here didn't even want Parliament to be involved!

Alternately maybe people had a unrealistic idea of how strong our hand would be in these negotiations? The reason we have to sort out the border is because Ireland demanded it be so and the rest of the bloc stood behind them.
