"But somewhere along the line, 48% of those who voted were ignored completely to satisfy the most rabid minority of the 52% on the other side"
48% < 52%. 48% !> 52%. We dont put the rabid socialists of labour in charge because they didnt win the election. A polar situation- in or out of the EU requires that we remain or leave based on the result. If it was 52% remain where would the reduction of EU influence begin? Would we be leaving to satisfy the few?
"Even if you ignore the lies and duplicity, did most people who voted 'Leave' vote for 'No Deal', "
Yes. That was easy. People voted to leave the EU, that means leave the EU/not be in the EU/exit the EU/no longer participate in the EU project. And the EU made clear that leave is hard brexit. And they are within their right to do that too, which means yes people voted to leave the EU.
"never mind the 96% that would have been necessary to outweigh Remain?"
This is a new statistic. Where did 96% come from?
"At the time of the referendum, the Leave campaigners were saying 'leave the EU, do a Norway-style deal and join EFTA, and nobody was saying WTO-only."
Yet the leave option available is to leave the EU. We might have done better if it was left to leave to negotiate but unfortunately they were so successful they were overruled. For example Davis lost his job for not making enough progress (May interfered and he quit) while may has lost so much ground her deal is considered worse than leave or remain.
