Why Theresa May’s hard Brexit might be softer than you think

@ac "Christ. You lost"

So who won exactly?

Not the 48% who voted remain, obviously.

Not those who voted leave to divert £350m/week to the NHS as that was admitted to be a lie before the votes had all been counted.

Not those who wanted to adopt a Norwegian style membership of the single market.

So who does that leave and what proportion of the electorate do they make up? Do they really have the democratic mandate to sever all our ties with Europe on the basis of a wafer-thin majority in a referendum that only dealt with a single facet of the relationship?

I wonder if I've underestimated Theresa May and David Cameron? By flushing out all the lies of the leave campaign and taking the country to the edge of a hard brexit abbyss, May could run another referendum and gain a super-majority to remain.
