  2. 'There were alternatives to the hard Brexit chosen, in the referendum, many leavers gave the impression we could stay in the Single market, the customs union was barely mentioned' Mostly enjoy Tejvan, but still peddling this tired old disingenuous BS after all these years really annoys me. Referenda are, by definition, binary. The 2016 Referendum question was, 'Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?' It wasn't a suite of cherry pickable options or an MCQ paper for a good reason, just as the 1975 Referendum (held years after the fact) wasn't. “Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?” Nor were ANY of the campaigners on either side in a position to promise ANYTHING. The single market and customs union are essential components of the European Political Project and leaving it was essentially a political act NOT an economic one. Due to its structure and ratcheting inevitable direction of travel one can no more be 'a bit in it' than be a 'a bit pregnant'. So please, just change the record Tejvan.
