Except only one of these parties actually has a majority in the house of commons and as such they should be the ones to put together a detailed plan. Having a wide group of people with different reasons for Brexit is no excuse for not having something more concrete in place.

All the other groups can't actually do anything without some pretty major alliances across different parties with very different ideologies. 

A bit difficult when half of the cabinet are in favour of remain.

Maybe, but in the case of a Brexit vote they would be the only party capable of forming a majority vote and whipping the rest of the party in-line. Beside, all I want is a coherent plan that isn't just rhetoric spouted at the most opportune time. 

So far, from what i can see, the majority of legal avenues that would have the least negative impact on trade and our economy include:

1. Still contributing to the EU budget (but without a rebate)

2. Still having free movement of people

3. Still have to abide by all the EU regulations

4. Having no say on EU legislation as we do now

The other option would be to only have a small selection of deals so we might not have to sign up to all of 1-3 or fall back to WTO rules, but in both cases we're then having to pay a lot more in trade tarifs and all the economic models suggest we'd economically be a lot worse off.
