Well, no one knows what the version of Brexit the 51.9% voted for. I'm sure a small but substantial part voted for hard-Brexit. A good amount probably voted for magical thinking idealistic Brexit where the EU would let them stay in the common market but allow for restrictions on free movement of people (all the while not thinking about what that really means). Some likely voted for a deal that would be in the middle of those two, but no one has really come up with that deal that would be amenable to those folks.
