The main flaw in Brexit was not knowing what the Single Market was.
It exists so supply chains don't have 28 DIFFERENT sets of rules to follow: less red tape.
Most people thought it just meant 'free trade'.
So Leavers thought "taking back control" of our laws wouldn't cost us.

But it's not their fault.
The BBC was still telling people the Single Market was a mere free trade area until I got them to change it in late 2018. But it was a little too late at that point.😬

That's why a Single Market explainer was the first long video I made, back in May 2016.
The second flaw was not knowing how much we do at the EU level. That's why the £350 million line was so effective. Because people didn't know what it pays for.
The first 2 flaws are forgivable.
Not this 1:
Brexit is about international relations.
That's based on treaties.
Remain meant the EU treaties.
Leavers spent 3years disagreeing with each other on what treaty should replace the EU ones, but INSISTING they voted for the same thing.
