Of course, I agree that one persons Brexit may be different to anothers but that was not in question.
The referendum question was fundamentally flawed. To have democratic legitimacy, the question must allow voters to make an informed decision and as nobody knew what 'Leave' looked like, it's clear that this isn't the case.

Events since the referendum have shown that it's quite clearly not a binary question (no reasonable person can argue against that, given the current impasse) so there's a need to go back to the people to agree on what 'Leave' looks like and to then vote whether they want to leave under those conditions or remain in the EU.
