the Brits voted in a non-binding, advisory referendum that they wanted to “leave the EU” - and technically that is what May’s bad deal gives - where the UK leaves the EU but remains in a customs union.

What? You meant leave the customs union? then be specific.

the referendum was like asking 100 people if they want to keep their current gym or not as a group package. 52 saying let’s leave and 48 saying stay. But the 52 still had some who wanted to see if they can get a daily package or others who wanted an occasional visit package.

The slim majority of the English and Welsh who voted in a non-binding, advisory referendum said they wanted to “leave” the EU but with differing ideas on what they meant by that.

“Non-binding advisory referendum”

What’s the point of something like that? Sounds like a waste of money.

The Brits voted in a national referendum that all parties swore to uphold.
