Except it's completely different. Brexit won by convincing a majority of the population unlike to date any of those alternatives you named.

Brexit won with the support of many experts and many experts who were against it have already been proven wrong.

Which leads to the fact that the much maligned "anti expertise" quote was actually that people have ‘had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong’ a not unreasonable position.

Which was correct. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/01/...about-experts/

Because we had a court-case from people and devolved governments trying to stymie it being triggered?

Because Sturgeon chose the day of Article 50 legislation completing passage through Parliament to grandstand on her parties cause?

Because your politicians have asked us to wait until after the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome?
