There is a revulsion with Brexit and a growing desire across Britain to ‘Get it over with’. This impatience can be seen in the growing support for ‘No Deal’. “We did not vote for a DEAL, we voted for LEAVE” tweets one angry Brexit supporter. 'Just do it' is a growing sentiment – its hopes captured, ironically, by the report that quarter of the supporters of ‘No Deal’ think it means the UK will stay! Which grammatically at least makes sense, but emotionally is about just getting the whole damn thing over with.
Historically speaking, responsibility for the understandable impatience is rooted in the bad faith of the Westminster politicians who offered a simple, in or out decision. Opponents of Brexit warned it would be damaging. No one warned that a Leave vote would drag on for years
