Think people on both sides are sick of the whole thing now, probably wish we hadn't bothered, and would vote for any deal, hard , soft anywhere inbetween to forget about it and get on with real life.I think if the people were asked they would narrowly reject a soft deal...
The problem is how do we ratify a deal the country can live with. I think if Parliament voted tomorrow they would not allow a hard deal to go through but I think if the people were asked they would narrowly reject a soft deal...
If we go into a negotiation, negotiate something and the people reject it what do we do then? This all hinges on the EU and what they are prepared to do but they know that fact very well which is a terrible position for us to be in.
To be honest I think this will go on for a very long time and either we will pull the plug or we will be bent over backwards into accepting a far softer deal than we might be comfortable with.

A few? Most.I get what you're saying but it's quite a difficult thing for a government to do this on the back of a parliamentary majority. There is always going to be quite a few remain MPs in the Tory party and they won't necessarily be able to rely on the Opposition to help them get the votes they need.
Well that's true I know , but most people aren't really that political, and don't associate the negotiations with their everyday life. Think a lot thought we'd vote and the next few weeks it would all be sorted.?
Getting on 'with real life' will unfortunately mean having to live with the fallout of whatever is agreed on Brexit, so we will hardly be able to 'forget about it'.
I agree with you , I think a lot of people thought bish bosh bang wallop EU exit sorted in a few weeks ( some) or at most two years (others).Well that's true I know , but most people aren't really that political, and don't associate the negotiations with their everyday life. Think a lot thought we'd vote and the next few weeks it would all be sorted.
A few? Most.
A new factor is whether Corbyn really does want to leave even if the national mood changed.
If the major parties actually stopped saying they were committed to respecting the result of the referendum, would it really cause outrage? Especially as project fear comes true just a bit slower than the fear mongers predicted. Be afraid, be very afraid, just not yet.
It has just become some kind of sacred cow that we are made to worship. The government explicitly asked for the referendum to be advisory,it is therefore non binding anyway.A few? Most.

No, you're right.Had a quick recap on where we stand and it seems that we must quit the Single Market and Customs Union whilst maintaining the benefits and trading advantages of the Single Market and Customs Union otherwise we are screwed. I may be misreading this but it seems we enter talks today in a very strong negotiating position.
