I'd like to disagree with you about this.
The person in charge of Brexit in the end was Boris Johnson who was one of the prominent people campaigning for Brexit. He campaigned on an oven ready deal that made him our prime minister with a HUGE majority. No opposition.
The top people leading the negotiations were all pro brexit people. They went in super confident thinking they held all the negotiating cards. The UK also chose to "put pressure on the EU" by triggering article 51.
I know a lot of Brexiters are saying that its the wrong type of Brexit but this is exactly was they wanted. We have left the EU with a minimal trade deal.
