It was not the government. MPs of all parties voted for a referendum and

At the subsequent general election, around 2/3 of current MPs stood on a
manifesto of abdiing by that result.

And so they will - given a reasonable deal. Which leave promised us would
be easy.

But what is a reasonable deal? Remaining in a customs union, where you
cannot set your own tariffs or do trade deals with other countries?
Remaining in the single market, where you must follow all the EU's rules
rather than just producing goods that meet EU standards and which
requires freedom of movement?

A good deal is simply a trade deal without all the extras, but that is
not on offer to the UK, despite the EU doing such deals with other
countries.
