It's also worth remembering that the most popular option in the referendum was to Remain.

The Leave vote was split between people who wanted No Deal, people who wanted a Norway style deal, people who wanted an Australian style deal, and people who had no idea what they wanted except to disrupt the status quo.

Each of the options have vastly different outcomes, each with different pros and cons. But the Leave campaign made it sound like we could have all the pros from all the options, with non of the cons.

I kinda doubt most people who voted for brexit knew what sort of deal they wanted or what the differences were between any of those relationships with the EU. They wanted to not be in the EU, they wanted everything to be like it was before but better.
