I have long been uncertain what my position is, I tend towards remain but there is so much uncertainty, but if you are a good representation of the kind of people who want to leave WP, you're doing an excellent job of convincing me to be a solid remainer!

Thank you
I quoted you verbatim. I may have done it in such a way to distort the context and of course I was being playful, but there's one of the problems we face now day to day and we have to manage this as it happens all over the internet.

Liam Fox is often quoted as saying "....this would be the easiest trade deal in history..." but he actually said "should" and that makes a world of difference.

Owen Patterson is often quoted as saying that of course we would never leave the Single Market and there is a 3-4 second snippet often used in Remain montages saying that.
In the 6 minute interview on Sky News, he said we would leave the Single Market several times, but that would not mean we would be leaving the market entirely, and that we would still trade with the EU.

Looking at the campaign I like to think I can disseminate what was accurate, what was let's say stretched and what is a complete whopper.
Not everyone feels able to of course, but that goes for politics generally.

You have to be careful as opinions are voiced during the campaign on all sides. An opinion might be wrong at the time, might be proven to be incorrect in the future, but at the time it could be held and communicated in good faith.

I look back at both sides of the referendum and identify issues with both sides that I disagreed with, or technical points particularly on trade matters where I contested the points made by both leave and remain campaigners, because I have a background there and could see they were not as well briefed as they might have been.
I'm not sure you can see both sides. Certainly others that take your position struggle in that respect, as only campaigning positions taken by the leave side seem to be called in to question.
