I wonder if the 52% would all agree that was the type of Brexit they voted for? If not the majority crumbles and the obvious play is to reverse jt.
It was the wrong type of Brexit and a failure of statecraft. Be told.
And I and many, many others did mention EFTA, single market and cake eating before the polls.
Surely this can't be disputed? You don't go into a souk and when they ask for 1000 dirhams you offer 950 and then try and move away from that number? FWIW an EFTA-style arrangement would have been ideal and exactly what was required in some form (as was the original premise of the EEC) but we had a load of muppets in charge that couldn't get past Barnier's one-man mission to make a name for himself.
