How to spin an election result.

[Monty92]

No, afraid I strongly disagree. The entire Leave campaign was run on the basis that we would not only get a deal we'd get a good deal because of how awfully important we are blah, blah, blah.

And many people believed it. Enough to overturn the result? Impossible to say. But it certainly raises a valid question with respect to the validity of the result given the no deal proposal imo.

Leavers who promised a good deal would argue that the reason we've wound up with a bad deal is because the entire process has been a) run by remainers treating it as a damage limitation exercise, b) sabotaged by those who have manouvered to take no deal off the table

This may not be true, but it's not the most outrageous claim in the world. We simply don't know how much the EU would have bent had they been faced by a hard Brexiteer PM from the outset with more ability to keep their Cabinet in line. And so it would seem reasonable at this point to give them a chance to prove they were right all along, the opportunity for which is (just about) still open.
