Another one that hasn't followed this very closely.
We were told we would get a good deal, and NO DEAL WAS BETTER THAN A BAD DEAL.

I honestly don’t recall any of that, it was in or out from what I remember, take control of our borders, laws was the big selling point. Then everyone has become trade experts over the last 12 months, the waters have become so muddied no one knows where they are.

That’s part of the leave leaflet that was delivered to homes.

So how did you make your decision?

Think we have actually found out that no deal and a bad deal are very similar but work on different levels .. one can cause chaos the other locks you up with no say.
What has been the major issue is the definition of a good deal. Bearing mind that a good deal for us would be a bad deal for the EU, so compromises all the way ... all a bit bloody obvious really

You just worked out that as a leaver you've been lied to??? Better late than never I suppose.

Oliver Letwin on @BBCr4today shows he does not have the first understanding that a customs union with the EU would not be frictionless, and that such would give EU complete control of our trading conditions. Not fit to be an MP, let alone one destroying our constitution.

because so many leave campaigners sold so many lies.

A compromise is a total cop-out.
It's not what the people voted for, but that seems to be totally irrelevant these days.

The trouble is what (some) people thought they were voting for and what is practically achievable with parliamentary arithmetic seem to be two different things.

Half the country voted out, half voted in. I'd say a compromise is what was on the cards all along. Just so happens the compromise is worse than our current arrangement, but there we are.

Part of the issue around "what people voted for" is that some voted remain because they didn't want their holidays to spain to be compromised.
As many ignorant people voted leave as voted remain. IMO.

I reckon with the amount of man/woman hours put into this thread, we could turn the UK into the powerhouse country of the world if we redirect them.

Absolutely agree, but I don’t think it’s any different to any other vote we hold.

As daft as it seems, I had made my mind up before any leaflet dropped on the mat. Manifestos are good lies in a fancy Font with the biggest lies in a bold Italic capital letters font.
But I saw a Tory Manifesto yesterday on there pledge re Europe. God all flippin mighty. Today is a million miles away from what there manifesto said.

If that comment was true then I would agree, but it wasn't half and half was it. However a compromise should be sought. If people are not prepared to learn another dance. Then Brexit the dance floor.
