The problem is that no one knew what leaving like like, in part because the Leave camp danced around it.

If Leave had to campaign against the actual terms, the vote would have failed.

No one knew? I'm sorry but pretty much every single repercussion the UK is feeling right now was rather obvious when you take the time to think on it and consider the EU's point of view as well. The only people who are surprised about stuff like being treated like every other outside country by the EU were the ones who didn't think one second about it and wanted to believe the lies.
