Let's face it, the public voted for four more years of the Tories after a horrific four years of a Tory led coalition. They have short memories.
As long as there is a Brexit, the government will have fulfilled their end regardless of whether it's a complete or soft Brexit.
Also remember that the referendum was just a choice of leaving or staying, not, if in the case of a Leave victory, whether or not we should completely break it off or go for the softer option.

There was no hard/soft option at that stage it was as you say basically in or out but the reason so many more voted for Brexit than was expected was because of immigration.
If a soft Brexit means public concerns over controlling our borders are ignored then these feelings will not just disappear and this issue will continue to cause massive problems and public disharmony. So actually they will not have fulfilled their end. There were over a million votes in it and if people feel cheated it could be a lot more votes for far-right parties next time.
I don't think people are as fickle as you think. What alternative is there to the Tories, Corben, he will ruin this country and people would rather vote for Shrek, so there is no real choice.
