Of the 52% that voted leave I'm sure that many wanted a hard Brexit but I'm also sure that at least a sizeable number wanted to leave but thought there would be a deal that wouldn't cause the negative economic impact that most economists seem to be indicating.

Numbers are guesswork but if even only 20% of Leave voters definitely wanted a deal with the EU to safeguard the economy's that makes the number of people who are accepting the verdict of the referendum 52% + 20% leavers wanting a deal the clear majority of the public wanting a 'soft' Brexit. I can't believe that all 52% of leave voters wanted, and still want a 'no deal' scenario???
Broadly agree - but what's your point? The country was given a choice and voted leave.

And what of The Great Leader? Does he have a view on Brexit and could he actually bring the Labour party into line on it?
