    In your opinion.

    The link I have just posted shows that, in a Referendum where the question was a straightforward yes or no (so you would have hoped that those trying to influence voters would have been as precise and clear in the language they used as possible), politicians were imprecise in the use of their language to a degree that is not acceptable when the decision being taken was such an important one.

    What leave meant to most leave voters was more in line with *no deal* than Norway plus, Canada minus and Common Market 2.0 or any other version of part in, part out.

    Fair play to you. It must have been a full time job carrying out those 17,410,742 detailed face-to-face interviews to understand what every Leave voter had in mind when they put their cross on the ballot.

    Are you suggesting that leave voters paid no attention to what the leave campaigns were proposing and promising?

    The famous quote was it'll be the easiest deal in history. Probably one of the top three most memorable things from the leave campaign.

    I don't remember it from the leave campaign but it was a well known quote from near enough a full year after the referendum.
