The British people did not vote for this agreement. They voted in a non-binding, advisory, completely unspecific referendum, and one where one side systematically told a pack of vile lies.

Then when this legally non-binding referendum ended up being marginally toward leave, the Tories created the most destructive possible Brexit because they refused to have a rational discussion with the EU, rammed it through, and now Britain is suffering, and there is no hint as how this could be fixed.

This process was helped because of the broken British political system where subsequently both of the only two possible candidates for PM were personally in favor of Brexit.

And now, years later, when the horrible consequences of the greatest trading national in the history of the planet inexplicably destroying its largest trade partnership ever for no possible financial gain at all should be clear to everyone, there are still the wildly delusional who claim, "Next year! Next year somehow some magic will happen! I cannot explain why burning our bridges will somehow help, but it is a matter of religious certainty for me!"

And you have three gross errors in your text, and provide no actual reasoning for your claim. No pride in your own work.
