Funny because when I voted I saw a Remain option and a Leave option with no qualification for either. If I voted Remain and the EU took decisions I didn't like, I was stuck with it. If I voted Leave and I didn't like the way we left, I was stuck with it. I was pretty certain that how it was going to work, wouldn't someone have to be awfully thick to think otherwise?

I now we have a situation where the only offer from the EU has been rejected by Parliament 3 times so the only options left are to Remain or to Leave with no deal. And yet somehow Parliament have convinced themselves leaving with no deal is not what the public want.

Honestly, you couldn't make this lot up if you tried.
I am not sure that the leave campaign really thought things through (EU not letting them have their way on the Irish border issue/divorce bill/where numbers like £350m a week/month/year for the NHS actually came from). The vast majority certainly wouldn't have a clue about the consequences of leaving without a deal.

All of the above takes this back to Cameron. How he decided to let the people make decisions that most are too ill-informed to make is beyond me. Do we not have MPs for exactly this reason - to make the sensible decisions for the country?
