Brexit has been hijacked,
52/48 is not a mandate for an extreme separation (actually it's not a mandate for anything). There was much talk at the time of the possibility of emulating Norway, Switzerland etc as examples of non-member countries with close ties. All of that has gone out of the window.
It would have been possible to satisfy the Leave voters on the sovereignty/federal Europe concerns without turning it into a catastrophe for the British people who have bluntly been betrayed.
