Here's an interesting article about claims that "everyone knew" that Brexit meant leaving the single market.
"Before the referendum, leave campaigners, campaigns, assorted brexiteers and “journalists” told voters that leaving the EU would not mean the end of free movement of people, or the end of Single Market membership.
Sometimes they said this completely explicitly, but often they just referred to the “Norway or Swiss Option” as shorthand for a wonderful prosperous future outside of the EU, but within the single market.
Norway, Switzerland, Iceland are all either members or de facto members of the Schengen agreement. They all participate in the free movement of people.
The claims that voting “leave” in 2016 was understood to mean “leave the single market” or ending free movement of people, are a lie. It’s a matter of public record that people were told the opposite, by the official and unofficial campaigns and major Brexit figureheads.
This is a non exhaustive list, but it is enough evidence to prove that we do not need to leave the single market to satisfy the so called “Will of the people*”.
*Ill-defined will of a minority of people living in the UK, that may or not be the same today."
