So not really a Brexit at all.

Not what Norway think.

An anti-EU group, I see. Norway and Switzerland are in the Schengen zone
which is not part of this discussion.

Why would we be different?

If we were the same, it wouldn't be a Brexit in any sense that was
campaigned for.

Not a universal view, especially as expressed before 23rd June 2016.

I'm fed up with arguing what people did or didn't vote for when there
are polls which show conclusively that the "leave" people wanted a
hard Brexit by a country mile (an order of magnitude more than the
winning vote margin) and also closer examination shows the various
"Norway/Singapore" soft Brexits were never a realistic proposition.

A bit silly to rely on polls when the overwhelming majority rejected any
exit which would make them poorer.

how do you know this?

I've never seen reports of a survey that asked

All I have see is politicians spouting it like its "obvious" (which to them,
it is) (and then misusing it to imply that no-one voted for anyone to be
poorer)

The whole debate has been so dominated by fantastic promises, especially
from Brexiters, that paradoxical poll positions have been inevitable.

As it is with staying in ("to change it" as just one example)
