And had people voted for them

They may have had the opportunity for a second refurendum on the deal at the end of the negotiation which would include an option to remain and whatever deal or no deal they negotiated.

Either way a remainers best option was to vote lib Dem.

But they didn't.

Maybe next general election a party will campaign on revoking article 50. Would probably be a good idea for remainers to vote for that regardless of the party
