I couldn't agree more, but, isn't it a bit too late?
In the 2016 referendum the people should have been given the different options of leaving that have since then appeared.
Now UK representatives started negotiations unprepared, worse, they thought they could cherry pick. In that they believed what some of your politicians had told to convince voters to make a choice for either of the two options.
There is a deal negotiated, which took two years, with assent from the EU and the british government.
If this pm, or her successor, put a deal together acceptable to the people, it will have to be negotiated with the EU. That takes time.
Probably the EU will grant another extension, but:
The end-date of the transition period is set, and cannot be moved. So extension past that date is impossible.
