"The referendum was a vote to remain or leave the EU."

Correct. That and only that was what I voted on. Nothing else. The details are still down to the politicians, who have to find practical solutions. There was no mention of customs unions, single markets or Irish borders on my ballot paper. That's for our leaders to thrash out. We elect them to do that kind of dirty work. Just as we elect them to make big decisions such as whether or not we should be in the EU. Unfortunately, the cowardly Cameron, running scared of UKIP and his own backwoodsmen, handed that one down to an ignorant electorate. Good job there WAS no mention of a customs union or single market on the ballot paper. Most of those voting wouldn't have had a bloody clue what they were.
