It is not what we "wished for", it is what we VOTED for.
HTH
But you didn't vote for no deal, that was never on offer. What was talked about at the time was Canada ++, or something like Norway, or our own 'special' deal. The ref was always leave with a deal, that was the will of the people. There is now a deal to leave the EU, exactly as the people willed, so we should just let our PM sign the damn thing so we can move on and try to fix everything that is now broken.

Bring it on.
So on the one post you say we voted for no deal, then you follow it up agreeing no deal wasn't on the ballot paper (and hence we didn't vote for it). Come on, make your mind up ..... what do you think you and 17m other poor saps actually voted for?

Stop being so naive. It was ALWAYS a reasonable possibility if the EU Commission insisted upon putting their own narrow interests ahead of the needs of the European electorate as a whole.
Hey presto, that has now come to pass it seems.
Let's just hope that the white-flag-waving Politicians that we are saddled with grow a set and don't capitulate entirely.

In fact Norway was the shining example given by Brixters for years running up until the referendum.

Brexiters need to be careful what they wish for ... a no deal with just see us back in the EU faster

There you have it from the horse's mouth. shaunbhoy thinks he voted for hard Brexit. He must have gone into the gents instead of the polling booth and put his cross against some "hard" offering in the graffiti.
