But the obstinate fact is that just over a third of the electorate voted leave. In no way does that qualify as "the British people have spoken" or that "the electorate made a choice that was clear-cut and decisive." The fact that we are still arguing about it here and in every bloody pub in the country is that the result was very divisive. One more thing that I've mentioned before. The question on the ballot paper confined itself to a bare yes/no choice. It did not ask whether we should stay in the customs union or single market. The person who, alone, decided that what the question meant was that we shouldn't stay in them was Theresa May, taking advice from an advisor who has since been discredited and who she sacked. She did not consult either the cabinet or parliament. Leavers who bleat on about unelected bureaucrats in Brussels imposing laws on us (a lie) should reflect on that aspect of the Tories' expedient bypassing of democracy, and it hasn't been the only example by a long chalk.
