100% correct. Was not a negotiating failure, it was the desired outcome, though perhaps not the desired consequences of such an outcome

It's interesting to see interviews with people who voted for Brexit.

They understand that they have a worse life, but their emotions about the vote didn't change as significantly as their life circumstances because of their vote.

For many people it was a religious decision, a matter of faith. "You cannot reason people out of something they did not reason their way into"

It's because the reasons they have a worse life aren't caused by Brexit. The ruling party hasn't actually changed anything even though now they legally can.
