Everyone who voted leave knew what that meant - a complete withdrawal from any and all parts of the EU that take precedence over British authorities & legislation
All this talk of 'they didn't know what they were voting for'; Hard Brexit; Soft Brexit; please can we keep this or that bit; is just so much distraction by the Remainers to weaken, reverse, or otherwise subvert a democratic decision
This was summed up very well by an audience member in Question Time a few weeks ago
When I voted in The Referendum the choice was Leave or Remain.
It didn't then say
Now go to part two; do you want this kind of Brexit or that kind of Brexit?

The delay is down to those in charge in Brexit not doing their job.
It is almost a year since we handed in Article 50,we are leaving the Single Market, Customs Union and controlling EU Immigration.
We have got naff in place.

We are trying to negotiate Trade Deals on our own to avoid WTO Rules.
The only country in the World which trades solely under WTO Rules is Mauritania,0.2 % of the size of our economy.
