Most people who voted Brexit did so expecting a good deal. Hence the constant: "The EU needs us more so they'll give us one."
Right now, the only Brexits on the table are a bad deal and No Deal.
Therefore the thing 52% wanted isn't possible, while the thing 48% wanted still is.

I'll keep repeating this until it sinks in.
Unless you can guarantee that the vast majority of Brexit voters (mathematically 92.7% {48.1%/51.9%}) would have voted for the version of "Leave" we end up with, there is no democratic mandate for it.

And the really messed up thing is: If the Brexit Deal goes through, it will be Brexit-voters themselves screaming "We didn't vote for this", which is simply a less mathematical way of saying what I just said.
