That was not the point. For some people it is a compromise, for others it is not a compromise. Whilst I accept a large majority voted to leave on the basis of migration, a minority did not and voted for a variety of other reasons, regardless of the validity.
Your point was that access to the single market required being a member. This is invalid and that was the reason as to why I refuted such a claim. Had you stated, access to the single market requires concessions on the 4 freedoms then your claim would be a valid one.
However, it is entirely possible to not be a member of the single market and still have access to it, even if you do need to make concessions on freedom of movement. In addition to this, you can have scaled back access to (restrictions on finance etc.) by engaging in a Customs Union, as Turkey have done, who have restrictions on their agricultural trade because those are the terms they negotiated.
As for my own personal beliefs, I'm not too bothered either way as this vote hasn't really disrupted my long-term ambitions anyway. The entire charade has been a national embarrassment in the way that it has been handled, especially for someone like myself who has been living abroad for the last few years, and I'd rather move back to a more traditional way of life centred around a strong family unit with closer links to the Anglosphere, but that's just my opinion, and as an adult I've come to terms with the fact I can't have everything I want in life.
I didn't vote in the end as a binary choice was stupid and I'd have been more open to real alternatives being put on the table such as:
The option put on the table was stupid, which is what led to this 'Brexit means Brexit' nonsense and an ongoing theatrical drama that looks like it was pulled straight out of the Hollyoaks waste bin. It was amateur but it was intended to confuse to allow those in power at the end of the vote flexibility on what they could do.
All in all, I have started to care less and less by the day as those in power will pull the strings and negotiate the deals that best suit them and line their pockets, and my long-term plan is to move to Australia anyway, whereby as things stand, I will need a VISA regardless of the outcome of the vote.
Call me cynical but that is how I feel on the matter and the only thing I am certain of is that class division will increase in the UK which will benefit those in sectors like IT, finance and consultancy on an economic level but on a social level the UK will become a worse place to be as there will be more homelessness, more children dying due to malnutrition and and more privatisation of services. The top percentile of the middle class will benefit, the rest of the middle class will be pushed down towards the working class bracket and a proportion of the working class will become the forgotten class, who people simply forget to exist whilst walking to the office convincing themselves it's their fault, totally disregarding the fact that there are wealthy billionaires out there who are more than happy to see this happen. The people that by majority voted to leave will also be the worst hit by this.
If you want an example, refer to Singapore. Everyone sees it as this flourishing city state of economic opportunity and prosperity where they'd love to work one day and live the good life as a skilled professional. How many people think of those living in slums or ghettos whilst thinking of Singapore? A minority. People have simply forgotten that these poor people in slums exist and those that are reminded either do not care due to a distorted moral compass, or convince themselves it's their fault.
