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.


much respect for you for taking that position

unfortunately, the majority of Remainers don't accept it and many of them
are vocal at denying it.


I think most remainers reluctantly accept that Brexit is a reality,


That's true but it's not the same thing

and
that it's likely to be a hard Brexit, though hopefully with a reasonable
FTA with the EU.


Hopefully, but we all, or rather all of the people with power, have to pull
in the same direction to make it more likely.
