Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled. If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

You do not get to have it both ways. You either word the referendum narrowly, benefitting from an electoral advantage as potential voters project all possible visions regarding next steps onto it... ... or you word it expansively, securing a binding mandate for your vision of what comes next.
