Compromise on what exactly Mrs May? The result of the vote?

Sunday mornings headline on the BBC web site is “Theresa May asks MPs for 'honourable compromise' on Brexit.   Sounds most reasonable.  

But a compromise on what?  Honourable to what?  And what is the need driving a compromise?  

In Today’s Sunday Telegraph she spells it out.  Failure to support her deal would mean "we will not leave the EU for many months, if ever".   

And this is at the heart of the problem.  She seems to be saying we need a compromise of some kind to get her “deal” through, not to honourably deliver what he people of the UK actually voted for, us to leave the EU.   

Should not any agreement revolve around what we voted for?  We voted to leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, the single market and the customs union.  Simple.   

Now, if Mrs May had opened the batting two and a half years ago stating that any withdrawal agreement (let's stop calling it a deal) had to honour these three things the people of the UK had voted for we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in  My goodness, even Ms Gina Miller thinks her “deal” is bad for the UK.
