@ifmcf, just like Theresa May and Boris Johnson, seems unaware that the question of *how* we implement the referendum result is a question for the *whole* country, not just those who ended up on the winning side.

The vote was leave, in any form, that was the question, another dumb argument. If the losers had been so interested in leaving on the best terms possible they should have accepted the result and not undermined the negotiations. We would have had this sorted by now.

You're right. The form of Brexit was completely unspecified in the referendum. So once Leave won, who should decide the form? Theresa May thought that she alone was entitled to do that and she had no need to look for where consensus might lie. She's the reason we're still in.

Leave was specified, quite clearly, it was leave the ECJ, the CU and end FOM. That was the mandate, there's plenty of footage.....

Did it say that in your ballot paper? It didn't say it on mine. All sorts of stuff was bandied about outside of the polling booth. Are we bound to only consider Brexit options that yield £350M a week for the NHS?

It said leave, that is the definition of leave lol, do you not know that by now?

Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU, in fact Mr Farage called them out as examples of how we could leave Yet a small but vocal group of people & MPs have decided that this is not the Brexit they want and blocked it by red lines. You must see that by now

To be fair, those MPs (like all MPs) are perfectly entitled to prefer one form of Brexit over another. Nothing about the referendum result obliges MPs to come to a consensus on any particular form. It was always possible that they might not.
