Thanks. I’ll take that into consideration.

One question though; do you think the spirit of Brexit is being upheld as the people believed it would be with their vote to leave the EU? They may not have asked because they felt certain points were implied. Of course in a court of law an implication may not fly so it needs to be spelled out clearly on paper (and in legalese).

Impossible question to answer, as ‘the people’ never had a single view of the matter - there was then, and is now, a very wide range of opinions and an equally wide range of expectations. Unfortunately also, the vote took place without any really reliable source of objective information about the facts of the British/EU relationship. Instead, all most voters had to go on was the propaganda of the two opposing campaigns, which were equally mendacious.
There’s no doubt that many votes were determined by gut feeling rather than logic (but then that’s true of any election). Even among intellectually articulate and convinced Brexiteers, you’ll find little agreement about what ‘the spirit of Brexit’, as you call it, actually means.
