Who are you going to vote for? As I said the Tory line is - any vote not for us just let's in Corbyn - and they're right about this under our FPTP system.

I voted to leave, the mechanics of how it actually works are to be drawn up by Parliament, and I am happy to let them get on with that, the highest percentage of moaning by far is coming from remainers who want the vote cancelled.
Let's be honest the UK did have an exit strategy, it could not be fleshed out in detail prior to the vote because of the vagueness of Article 50.
They wanted to negotiate a sort of favoured nation deal but at every point the EU has played hardball and rejected each compromise, the EU want the UK to continue to pay for many years to come, and I have never argued against that, however if we are to continue to pay we must receive some benefits.
Yes a negotiated deal is better for all but if no deal is struck prior to the deadline then let us leave and trade on WTO terms, any payments to the EU can be massively reduced accordingly.
I have every confidence the UK will survive outside the EU, there may need to be many changes but who is to say they will not be for the better.
As for all the posts about the 2016 referendum not being binding, I take it you will accept then that the 1975 result has also never been binding, or is it only non binding if we vote against your preferred choice.
