Throughout the campaign the vast majority of those who campaigned to leave stated very clearly that we wouldn’t leave the single market.
I know they lied about pretty much everything, but issues like this weren’t well understood and discussed. Just as ending immigration wasn’t. The winning side have attempted to interpret the vote to give them a mandate, dressed up in fascistic nonsense “the will of the people”, “saboteurs”, “enemies of the people”. We should call them out on this at every opportunity.

All the ballot paper said was effectively should the U.K. leave the EU. It didn’t say let’s go for the hardest possible Brexit and completely fucking trash our economy, because most people wouldn’t have voted for that.
