Simple question.

Actually, I'll answer it for you. The answer is no. It would have been a straightforward remain victory as all polls have suggested.

The leave vote needed to appeal to everyone who might consider leaving the EU, whether hard or soft, deal or no deal. Split the leave vote and leave would have lost. That decision, no doubt enforced by the leave campaign, has caused all the problems.
You have your opinion and I have mine. I described in detail two years ago what would happen, and here we are in the position that I predicted.
