I think it's pretty safe to say 17.4 million people weren't thinking about personal gain considering the entire remain argument was to scare people on the basis of financial ruin, those are the only important people in this fight, they are the ones it's all about.

The 37% of the electorate who voted leave in 2016 are the only important people in 2019? Again I ask really?

@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.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
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?

That's definitely not the definition of leave. For example, did you know there are counties not in the EU where people nonetheless have freedom of movement with the EU?

Exactly. £350M. Not leaving the Single Market. Being free to do trade deals elsewhere. And the leave campaign wasn't being run by anyone who would be held to account for implementing the fantasy. "I want what the leave campaign promises" was not a rational basis for voting leave.

The irony is if those hadn't been lies and false promises I'd have accepted I was wrong and moved on. They weren't so you, I and millions of others won't.
