the QQ vs AK analogy is unworkably flawed. As far as the election goes we don't know which side had QQ and which side had AK, or if those were even the hands at play. Certainly most people thought it was more like remain with an over pair and leave with a suited connector. Considering we only have the educated forecasts from pre-vote and an N of 1, it's pretty hard to argue that it wasn't close.

As Poop has pointed out, it's odd how you mix up your views with the views of the populace/leavers without seeming to notice. You also conveniently reject the will of anyone who voted brexit but may have changed their mind with the justification that they were naive or are idiots. You now say that you know it won't be all berries and cream in the short term-- yet I distinctly remember you explaining how easily it will be for fishermen to find new markets for their catches or, and I don't think I'm making a parody of your claims, the British will simply eat more fish... Apparently lots of people were naive going into the referendum, and it seems naive to claim none of them have become more grounded and had a change of heart.

You flatly assert that every single vote for leave wants to leave even without a deal. This is absurd. The leave campaign sold potpourri, but now that it's time to deliver, all they've got is a choice between a couple different sacks of shit.
