The people didn't vote to crash out without a deal. In fact, all the Vote Leave literature explicitly said we would negotiate a trade deal before we left.

- reallydontask 7y agoThe irony is that under WTO rules, we'd trade with less say on the rules that under pretty much any other arrangement. Not that the whole Brexit thing was ever very rational (in the homus economicus sense) but this is sliding into a farce and tragedy all in one. If I were an optimist, I'd say that this is posturing to force the EU's hand but I suspect that unless a face saving measure is found, this is it.
