As soon as the fuzzy "imagine anything you want" of the referendum collapsed into "you must pick one and come up with a plan to mitigate the consequences" of May's government!
Any specific result would always have had a minority - the 'majority' vote was made up of people wanting opposite things.
Yeah. That’s the issue isn’t it. There was one version of remain but dozens of versions of leave but people only got to choose between two options.
Then when the government realised that there were so many different opinions of what leave meant they spent more than a year with no progress.
More like 4 years, right?
Well, after about a year they came out of a meeting at Chequers with a bold plan….. that was almost like being in the EU and got shot down by parliament immediately.
You could argue that coming up with that plan is progress. It was just in the wrong direction.
