There were two options:
- Leave the EU
- Remain in the EU
No mention of deals
Typical leaver laziness. Those who knew what they were voting for, had informed themselves and read the famous article 50.
CONSOLIDATED VERSION OF THE TREATY ON EUROPEAN UNION
TITLE VI
FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 50
1.***Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.
2.***A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union
shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.
3.***The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
